Project Management (Prince2® practitioners)
Prince2® can be used to manage many business processes as well as specific projects. The definition of a Prince2® project is 'a management environment that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to a specified business case'. Where Prince 2® differs from other project management techniques is by defining the finished product at the outset. We have found
Prince2® invaluable in both analysing business processes (which sounds very boring, but is very exciting when it helps to identify problem 'hot spots'!).
We can also supply Prince2® project managers for projects.
