PRINCE2 - Help Needed
MikeR - 24/4/07 at 07:05 PM

Folks,

Got my study week and exam next week. Due to absolute chaos and hell in the office i've not been able to either find the time or face putting in the pre-course work.

Has anyone got the manual in PDF format? or any other resources that could help?

Don't have peer2peer so would appreciate if it could be emailed (i'll u2u my email)

Cheers, Mike

Mike, I had a set of lectures on PRINCE2 (i assume you mean the project management methodology stuff?) I have the notes in electronic format, let me know if they would be useful?

Mike

Who are you doing the course with..? I used Maven, and they are very good.

Best tip I have is to forget everything you have ever known about project management, and just quote the book...! Also, there is always a question or two that states something like 'list the stages in closing a stage or project...' and thats what you need to do...! Just write a list ! No explainations, no waffle...

Saying that, I wrote 19 pages, and that was 2 weeks after a wrist operation... I ached.....

Cheers

Pete

did the course a couple (ok maybe more than a couple) of years ago and failed by 1 mark. Doing it again and want to pass this time ..... got an ace up my sleave but i need the manual in PDF format so i can use a laptop in the exam (its open book and i can maybe make them let me use a laptop for reference!)

any help is welcome - flak u2u on its way although i've a suspicion if your college notes are anything like the ones i used to get they won't be detailed enough.

This sounds like poor governence, you needed a PID and have failed to meet the milestones.....

Still its definately worth having, loads of dosh as a contrator for PM,s good luck.

always one smart arse

But before the PID i need a project mandate. From that I can run through SU, where one of the outputs is the PID.

(i hope thats right as i just cheated using the crazy colour chart)
