Tailoring PRINCE2
Office of Government Commerce
2001, ISBN: 0113308973
PRINCE2 is a very adaptable project management method but new users particularly find knowing how and where to adapt it to the size and scope of their projects somewhat daunting. This can lead to over-zealous adherence to unnecessary levels of formality and detail in smaller, low-risk projects and the impression of excessive bureaucracy on the part of PRINCE2. Conversely, it can also lead to inappropriate short-cuts being taken in other cases, undermining the integrity of the method, and the control and management of risk that it provides.
People Issues and PRINCE2
Office of Government Commerce
2001, ISBN: 0113308965
PRINCE2 is about controlling the various risks to which projects are subject. This manual details how to achieve successful projects in terms of processes, documentation and organization - but it also identifies where people issues, such as politics, motivation, absence, incompetence and disagreement, are most prone to arise in projects. It then provides best-practice, OGC-endorsed guidance on how to plan for and deal with these issues.
Business Benefits Through Project Management
Office of Government Commerce
2002, ISBN: 0113308981
Something like 66 per cent of projects fail. For them to work, senior management has to commit to a certain amount of time and energy to providing input at key junctures. They also have to allow the project manager the freedom to run the project. In other words they need to delegate but not be divorced from their projects. This text aims to show senior managers how PRINCE2 can allow them to delegate yet retain control of the big picture, how projects can be initiated and run successfully without massive management cost or overhead. In short, it indicates how to get the desired benefits from business projects.
