PRINCE2 ® 6th Edition Foundation - The foundation of project management

The PRINCE2® Foundation training is an intensive two-day program designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the principles, themes, and processes underlying the PRINCE2® (Projects IN Controlled Environments) project management framework.

PRINCE2® is a globally recognized and structured project management method that focuses on dividing projects into manageable and controllable stages. This approach enables project managers to ensure effective management regardless of the type or scale of the project.

The PRINCE2® Foundation training emphasizes three major aspects: Principles, Themes, and Processes.

• PRINCE2® Principles: These form the foundation on which the methodology rests. The seven principles must be applied for a project to be recognized as being managed according to PRINCE2®. They include continuous business justification, learning from experience, defined roles and responsibilities, management by stages, management by exception, focus on products, and tailoring to the project environment.
• PRINCE2® Themes: These describe aspects of project management that need to be addressed continuously throughout the project. The seven themes include business justification, organization, quality, plans, risks, changes, and progress.
• PRINCE2® Processes: These describe a set of activities necessary to direct, manage, and deliver a project from start to finish. The seven processes are starting a project, directing a project, initiating a project, controlling a stage, managing product delivery, managing stage boundaries, and closing a project.

This training is designed for professionals from various sectors who want to acquire the skills to effectively manage projects using the PRINCE2® methodology. It is particularly beneficial for project managers, project team members, program managers, project management consultants, among others.

At the end of the training, participants should be able to understand and apply the principles, themes, and processes of PRINCE2® to their own work environment, leading to more efficient and successful project management.

PRINCE2 ® 6th Edition Foundation training is open to anyone who wishes to acquire basic knowledge of project management. No specific prerequisites are necessary, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced professionals.
