PRINCE2® Foundation: In-House Training Projects fail for a variety of reasons including poor planning, lack of defined quality criteria, poor understanding of the business drivers, inadequate control, and lack of senior management involvement in other words, lack of a structured best practice approach to project delivery. PRINCE2® (6th Edition is the current version) is a structured, process-based approach to project management providing a methodology which can be easily tailored and scaled to suit all types of projects. It is the de facto standard for project management in the UK Government and is used extensively in more than 150 countries worldwide with in excess of 20,000 organizations already benefiting from its powerful approach. It can be used easily in combination with PMI®'s PMBOK® Guideto provide a robust project management methodology, or to augment an existing PMBOK®-based methodology with additional rigor around areas such as Quality, Organization, and Benefits Realization. The goals of this course are to provide participants with a thorough grounding in PRINCE2® and its benefits and to prepare them to sit the Foundation exam. What you will Learn You'll learn how to: Identify the benefits and principles underlying a structured approach to project management Define the PRINCE2® method in depth, including the principles, themes, and processes Prepare and practice for the Foundation exam Getting Started Introductions Course structure Course goals and objectives Overview of the PRINCE2® Foundation exam PRINCE2® Introduction Introducing PRINCE2® The structure of PRINCE2® What PRINCE2® does not provide What makes a project a 'PRINCE2® project'?

Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) 5th Edition Foundation: In-House Training Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) is a globally-recognized framework for best practice programme management. MSP certification provides guidance for programme managers, business change managers and the next step for project managers to develop their knowledge and skills to be able to positively respond to the challenges for managing programmes and larger, more strategic or multiple projects. MSP 5th edition emphasizes flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness by adopting an incremental approach to the programme lifecycle and thus enabling organizational agility. AXELOS offers two levels of MSP Examination: MSP Foundation and MSP Practitioner. The MSP Foundation Examination is intended to assess whether the candidate can demonstrate sufficient recall and understanding of the MSP programme management framework. The MSP Foundation qualification is a prerequisite for the MSP Practitioner Examination, which assesses the ability to apply understanding of the MSP programme management framework in context. The MSP® 5th Edition Foundation course is a training based on the exam specification for MSP Foundation certification and is aligned with the Managing Successful Programmes (5th Edition) guide from AXELOS. What you will Learn At the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand key concepts relating to programmes and MSP Understand how the MSP principles underpin the MSP framework Understand the MSP themes and how they are applied throughout the programme Understand the MSP processes and how they are carried out throughout the programme Key Concepts of MSP Programmes Three Lenses of MSP Principles Themes and Governance Organization Organization Theme Organization Structure Individual Roles Stakeholder Management Design Design Theme Benefits Risk Identification and Prioritization Target Operating Model Documents and Key Roles Justification Justification Theme Business Case Financial Planning Documents and Key Roles Structure Structure Theme Delivery Planning Dependencies Benefits Realization Plan Resourcing Documents and Key Roles Knowledge Knowledge Theme Knowledge Management Information Management Document and Key Roles Assurance Assurance Theme Assurance at Multiple Levels Assurance Planning Document and Key Roles Decisions Decisions Theme Issue Resolution Risk Response Data Gathering and Reporting Options and Analysis Document and Key Roles MSP Processes Identify the Programme    Design the Outcomes Plan Progressive Delivery Deliver the Capabilities Embed the Outcomes Evaluate New Information Close the Programme
