PRINCE2® is a project management methodology owned by AXELOS. It offers a best practice framework, helping managers ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.
PRINCE2® projects have defined lifecycles and business products, corresponding activities which can achieve them, a specified amount of resources and an organisational structure with strictly defined responsibilities.
At the heart of every PRINCE2® project lies the ‘business case’, which must show that the benefits of the project are worth the effort and expenditure.
According to Payscale, certified PRINCE2® users can earn between $53,000 and over $217,000 (or £26,000 and £107,000). Salaries depend on each candidate’s role, level of experience, and location.
PRINCE2® offers proven best practices for project management. Users can enjoy greater control, clarity, and focus, with improved stakeholder representation and risk management.
PRINCE2® also relies on the ‘business case’ of a project throughout, to ensure that the project remains viable.
The PRINCE2® Foundation exam is closed-book. It features 60 multiple-choice questions and lasts 60 minutes. The pass mark is 55%.
After passing this exam, a student can then move on to the PRINCE2® Practitioner exam. This is an objective testing exam featuring 68 multiple-choice questions. The exam is open-book, lasts 150 minutes, and has a pass mark of 55%.
With project management being such an essential element of modern business, PRINCE2® can be used by virtually any organisation in any industry. It is also extremely useful for both experienced and prospective project managers.
Students start with PRINCE2® Foundation. Passing this allows them to move on to PRINCE2® Practitioner. PRINCE2® Agile qualifications can also serve as prerequisites for PRINCE2® exams, and vice versa.
AXELOS is a joint venture company that offers a number of best practice frameworks, including PRINCE2®, PRINCE2® Agile, MSP, ITIL 4, and AgileSHIFT
PRINCE2® can be used with a number of other frameworks. It was recently used to create ‘PRINCE2® Agile’, and can also complement MSP and ITIL 4.
