'Colin always brings a very readable style to his books. That, coupled with his unbeatable knowledge of PRINCE2, makes this book an instructive pleasure to read. However much you think you know about PRINCE2 there is always something extra that Colin brings, so the book is a really good read for anyone serious about sitting the Practitioner exam. It will give them a deep understanding of every element of the method and a confidence in tailoring and applying it to any project that is given to them.' - Emma Jones, PRINCE2 Chief Examiner, APM Group, UKMore details
