Riassunto

PRINCE2 Revealed sets out to illustrate that the use of management methods, even in smaller projects is not costly in terms of either time or money. Using the PRINCE2 Project Management Method can, in fact, save time and money whilst ensuring a higher standard of product or service. This book is suitable for Project Managers, Consultants or IT Managers, or those involved in PRINCE2 at any level. PRINCE2 Revealed has a section relevant to those who have previously used PRINCE2 on a large scale and want to know how to downsize it, or those who have experience of small projects but little or no prior knowledge of PRINCE2.

This book has been specifically written to:
*Allow you to gain results with no prior knowledge of PRINCE2
*Help you deliver projects to higher standards
*Explain many elements of the method that the manual defines in rather vague terms
*Explain how to employ PRINCE2 in the management of small projects
*Save you time and money
*Teach you only what you need to know of PRINCE2 to succeed in small projects

*Explains the Method
*Shows the trips, tricks, traps and techniques of setting up, running and delivering a successful project
*Debunks the beief that small projects cannot efficiently use project management methods
