Project Management Training
Project Management can be used by organisations of any size and type. Having professionally qualified Project Managers is a clear
benefit and necessity where any level of overisight is required.
The PRINCE2® Foundation course offered through Bursood Information
Solutions bears this in mind through the use of interactive training to provide
students with a good level of knowledge about PRINCE2® at Foundation
level.
PRINCE2® is the global standard project management methodology,
and PRINCE2® Certification is a world class project management
qualification, with over 1 million examinations taken to date.
Project Management History
Before formal Project Management techniques were adopted, large civil engineering projects were traditionally managed by the master builders,
architects and engineers themselves.
Project Management emerged as a distinct discipline during the twentieth century, the result of work in the fields of civil construction and
engineering, and a burgeoning heavy defense industry.
It's roots lie in Frederick Winslow Taylor's (1856-1915) theories of scientific management. Within Taylor's work can be found the forerunners of
modern Project Management tools such as the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and resource allocation.
Two of his students, Henry Gantt (1861-1919), the author of early planning and control techniques and the Gantt chart, and Henri Fayol (1841-1925),
creator of the five management functions that underpin project and program management (planning, organizing, leading, controlling and coordinating),
are generally considered to be the founding fathers of the modern discipline that eventually emerged in the 1950s, and that we recognize today as
Project Management.
What
is PRINCE2®
PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments)
is the predominant project management methodology in EMEA and is practiced
by individuals and organizations worldwide. The project management best-practice
is in its second version and is popular because it can be tailored to organizations
or projects of any type and size.
PRINCE2® was developed by the UK Government and has been adopted
by many organizations in both the public and private sector.
Our course has been fully accredited by EXIN, who are licensed by AXELOS as an Examination Institute for Project Management.

Key
Benefits of PRINCE2®
Scalable and easily-tailored, and embodying many years of best practice,
PRINCE2® is the de-facto standard for Project Management
in the UK, and is increasingly practiced worldwide including Australia and
New Zealand.
PRINCE2®'s focus on what a project is to deliver (the why,
when, and for whom?), together with its formal recognition of responsibilities,
enables PRINCE2® to provide your organization with greater
control of resources, and the ability to manage both business and project
risk more effectively.
The key benefits are:
- The use of a common reporting language and methodology.
PRINCE2® is widely recognized and understood, saving time
and effort.
- The assurance that the project continues to have a business justification and a controlled and organized start, middle and end to the project.
- An increased awareness of roles and responsibilities amongst staff and the opportunity to employ a set of very powerful diagnostic tools, allowing very
detailed assessments of project work.
PRINCE2®
Qualifications
PRINCE2® certification requires the passing of standard
examinations and assessments.
There are two key levels of certification: Foundation and Practitioner. Passing the Foundation certification is a
pre-requisite for engaging in Practitioner.
PRINCE2® Foundation
Foundation represents the starting point in PRINCE2® certification.
Passing the one-hour exam certifies the candidate to act
as a qualified member of a Project Management team, conversant in the
PRINCE2® principles, terminology and method.
Some of the key learning outcomes a successful Foundation candidate can expect to benefit from include:
- The use of a common reporting language and methodology.
PRINCE2® is widely recognized and understood,
saving time and effort.
- The assurance that the project continues to have a business justification and a controlled and organized start, middle
and end to the project.
- An increased awareness of roles and responsibilities amongst staff and the opportunity to employ a set of very powerful
diagnostic tools, allowing very
detailed assessments of project work.
