Product Description
Product Description
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

I was hoping that this book would help me simplify the detail in the course books, sadly it just managed to confuse me more, the diagrams used in this book, although trying to explain the same situation differ in many cases from the course books and therefore can cause confusion. In isolation from the course books, or as an introduction to to process the books is probably useful. But as in my case, as an additional source of information working toward the qualification more confusing than helpful. It is however well written and more lighthearted than the coursebooks (and way less heavy/bulky) and therefore is a good portable option.

Easy to read and very usefull in the real world. The auther even has a sence of humour (quite unlike the OCG prince two books)

This book gives a practical introduction to PRINCE2. However, PRINCE2 certification is not based on the content of this book or any other, apart from, of course, "Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2". So, where there are grey areas in PRINCE2, and there are many, the latter book is the reference. The other books may offer sensible advice, but if they were to contradict the reference book, or provide information not in the Reference book, you could end up being right but getting it wrong, at lest as far as the exam is concerned! My advice, if you want the PRINCE qualification, is to get and study the reference book, using a formal training course / trainer. The other books are for after the qualification, when you then need to know how to use the method.
