The Underlying Principles of Managing Successful Programmes® and PRINCE2® That Lead to Successful Projects and Programmes MSP® and PRINCE2® have been developed over the years through ongoing processes of reviewing projects and programmes from every sector, and of every size and type. This video defines best practice principles that will empower you and your teams to influence and shape endeavours towards ultimate success. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
