5.0 out of 5 stars Its a winner, 5 Feb 2009
By K. Fitzpatrick - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My company has taken on Prince 2 training big time for most of the staff. having no project management experience I was booked on the foundation course so I bought a copy of this book. Its the best thing I did and helped me a lot. The actual Prince2 manual is more like a reference book where as the Dummies guide talks you through the process's in a more informal way. My advice is if you are going on the foundation or practitioners course then get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prince2 Review, 24 Oct 2008
By S. Gulde - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent well written structured overview of the international Project Management methodology. Author makes a pretty light-hearted read of a difficult subject. Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad..., 23 Sep 2009
By E. Hughes "Randel" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not the worst book in the world though it admits itself it is no replacement for the Prince2 manual. If you just want a idea about Prince2 this isn't so bad but if you want to pass the Prince2 exams stick to the official manual. Prince2 is now on edition 2009 also and this book is based on 2005 edition and there are just enough changes in Prince2 to mean this is out of date.
