Description
PRINCE2 (R) is one of the world's most widely used project management methods - but it's often seen as complex, theoretical or difficult to apply in practice.
This book changes that.
Drawing on more than 25 years of real-world experience, Susan Tuttle brings PRINCE2 (R) to life through clear explanations, plain English and relatable stories. No jargon, no unnecessary theory - just practical insight into how PRINCE2 (R) works in action, and how it can be tailored to suit any project or environment.
Each chapter explains what PRINCE2 (R) says, what it really means and how it plays out in real situations - including when it's applied badly, and why that matters.
Whether you're new to PRINCE2 (R), studying for certification or looking to apply the method more effectively, this book will help you turn best practice into practical results.
