The training will be particularly relevant to people who:
• are thinking about or beginning to adopt PRINCE2 in their work;

Training Aim

The workshop aims to define the different roles and responsibilities in projects using PRINCE2 methodology and will enable participants to start using some elements of PRINCE2 immediately.

The workshop will have some practical and interactive elements, but most importantly it will give participants the opportunity to ask questions about PRINCE2, assess the benefits of using PRINCE2 in their organisation and begin to know what to expect from projects using PRINCE2.
