What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) is a widely recognised project management methodology owned by PeopleCert. It is structured to provide project managers with the essential tools and insights needed to deliver projects efficiently within set timelines and budgets. Its comprehensive approach is designed to minimise risks while maximising project outcomes.

What is the functionality of PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is built on a foundation of controlled stages, clear roles and responsibilities, and a business case that justifies the project throughout its lifecycle. Each project under PRINCE2 follows a systematic approach with predefined processes that guide the project from initiation through to closure, ensuring consistent oversight and alignment with the project objectives.

What is the value of PRINCE2 certification?

Holding a PRINCE2 certification is highly regarded in the project management industry. Salary surveys, such as those from Payscale, show that PRINCE2-certified professionals can expect to earn between $53,000 and over $217,000 annually, depending on their role, experience, and geographical location. This certification opens doors to advanced project management roles and increases job prospects significantly.

What are the business benefits of PRINCE2?

Organisations implementing PRINCE2 can expect enhanced project management efficiency, including:

  • Better Cost Efficiency: PRINCE2’s focus on the business case ensures that all projects are aligned with the organisation’s financial goals.
  • Improved Risk Management: Through systematic processes, PRINCE2 helps identify potential risks early, allowing for effective mitigation strategies.
  • Enhanced Stakeholder Engagement: Clear roles and responsibilities ensure everyone involved understands their tasks and contributions.
What are the PRINCE2 examination details?
  • Foundation Level: The PRINCE2 Foundation exam is an hour-long multiple-choice test consisting of 60 questions, with a pass mark of 55%. It is closed-book, testing a candidate’s understanding of the framework basics.
  • Practitioner Level: After passing the Foundation exam, candidates can proceed to the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. This is an open-book test lasting 150 minutes and comprising 68 questions, with a required pass mark of 60%. It tests the ability to apply PRINCE2 to real-world scenarios.
Who Should Use PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is versatile, suitable for anyone involved in project management, regardless of industry sector. It benefits both new and experienced project managers by providing a rigorous, process-driven approach to project management that is replicable in various project environments.

What is the PRINCE2 certification pathway?

The pathway starts with the PRINCE2 Foundation, progressing to the PRINCE2 Practitioner. For those interested in combining agile methodologies with traditional project management, the PRINCE2 Agile® tracks are available, which can complement or serve as an alternative pathway.

What are complementary frameworks for PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 works well alongside other management frameworks like MSP® (for programme management) and ITIL® 4 (for IT service management), offering a robust suite of governance across various organisational functions.

How long is PRINCE2 certification valid for?

PRINCE2 qualifications are valid for three years, with the option to extend or reactivate by taking another PeopleCert-accredited exam.
