Learn the processes, practices and principles of project management described in the PRINCE2® approach and prepare for the Foundation and Practitioner examinations on this accredited programme. Duration: 5 days (32.5 hours) Our PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Qualification course is designed to teach the processes, practices and principles of project management described in the PRINCE2® approach and to prepare delegates for the Foundation and Practitioner examinations, held as part of the course. This course is designed for existing and potential Project and Team Managers who would like to gain a comprehensive understanding of the PRINCE2® method of managing projects and will provide those responsible for planning and managing projects with a structure that will help, without imposing inflexible processes or stifling creative thinking. The PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Course is based on the “Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2® 7th Edition”, which describes the structured project management method. These are intensive modules and require delegates to undertake some evening work in their own time. Objectives  By the end of the course you will be able to be: Describe the background, principles, structure and terminology used in the PRINCE2® 7th Edition project management method Prepare for and take both the PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Exams Please note that examinations are the responsibility of the examination board, PEOPLECERT and must be organised separately by each person attending. Content Introduction Introduction to projects and project management Structure Of PRINCE2® 7th Edition The seven Principles –the basis of what defines a PRINCE2 project People – leading successful change, teams and communication The seven Practices – to be addressed throughout the project The seven Processes - the activities to direct, manage and deliver a project successfully Practices Business case – establishing mechanisms to decide whether project is desirable, viable and achievable Organizing – establishing accountabilities and responsibilities Quality – defining mechanisms to ensure that products are fit for purpose Plans – the product based approach to planning Risk – identifying, assessing and controlling uncertainty Issues – identifying, assessing and controlling changes to the baseline and other issues Progress – monitoring actual achievements against estimate and controlling deviations Processes Starting up a Project - is there a viable and worthwhile project Directing a Project – enabling key decision making by the Project Board Initiating a Project – establishing solid foundations Controlling a Stage –assigning and monitoring work and keeping within stage tolerance Managing Product Delivery – controlling the link between the Project Manager and Team Manager(s) Managing a Stage Boundary – current stage review and next stage planning Closing a Project – confirmation of acceptance and project review Tailoring PRINCE2® - to the project environment Foundation Examination and results Practitioner Workshop and Examination PRINCE2® Practitioner Examination Objectives and Guidance PRINCE2® Review PRINCE2® Practitioner Examination Workshops PRINCE2® Practitioner Examination PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Examinations The PRINCE2® Foundation Exam is of 1 hour duration and consists of 60 multiple choice questions. A Pass is 36 correct answers, 60%. The PRINCE2® Practitioner Exam is a written paper of 2.5 hours duration. There are 70 Objective Test style questions to be answered in the 2.5 hours and the candidate may use an annotated manual.

Learning Agile or Scrum without the necessary work context is ineffective; more importantly, learning Agile or Scrum without a platform to practice and apply them on an ongoing basis is futile. IIL's Mastering Hybrid Approaches for Projects workshop provides both context and practice across all aspects of the value delivery system including waterfall, hybrid, and Agile approaches. This workshop provides options that span the value delivery spectrum for developing scope, estimating durations, managing schedules, and tracking progress. For example, participants will learn how to organize scope with a WBS and prioritize it with a backlog as well as lead the day-to-day work with a task board. The workshop also covers how to integrate iterations and releases into a high-level predictive schedule. The project team is the heart of the project. This workshop explains various team roles along with key leadership skills such as emotional intelligence and decision making. Key tenets of Agile practices, such as servant leadership and self-managing teams are explored along with the different types of meetings, such as daily stand-ups, iteration planning, and demonstrations. Those who attend will be better prepared to situationally apply agile and hybrid concepts. In addition, this course provides the structure for critical thinking to occur: to know and understand when to apply a predictive approach, when to apply an adaptive approach and when and how to combine them in a tailored and customized hybrid approach that meets the needs and demands of the project and the organization. The learning experience design is rooted in real world perspectives, leveraging team exercises based on a comprehensive case study.
