PRINCE2® (PRojects IN a Controlled Environment) is a structured project management method, which is administered by the APM Group on behalf of the Treasury of the United Kingdom Government. PRINCE2® is extensively used in more than 150 countries around the world and is widely considered as the leading method in project management.
Adopting PRINCE2® promotes learning and continual improvement in organisations. Its product focus clarifies what a project will deliver, why, when, by whom and for whom. It is based on a 'management by exception' framework, providing for the efficient and economic use of management time (whether at corporate, programme, Project Board or project management levels).
As more companies adopt project management into their business, the demand for practitioners increases globally. Foundation and Practitioner Certification form the basis of the PRINCE2® accreditation programme. The PRINCE2® Practitioner level ensures that a learner is able to apply PRINCE2® to the running and managing of a non-complex project within a project environment supporting PRINCE2®.
