Perceptions of
PRINCE2.
What is PRINCE2? Well, it rather depends on your point of
view.
To middle and senior managers PRINCE2 is a mixture between a philosophy and a series of processes which are targeted to ensure that a project achieves its required return on investment.
Project managers benefit from PRINCE2 because the PRINCE2 processes provide them with a framework of what they need to do in order to succeed.
Clerical and technical staff find that working in a PRINCE2 environment gives them clear and unambiguous direction.
