This publication, 'Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2™', provides a universally applicable project management method - the principles, processes and techniques that enable individuals and organisations to successfully deliver their projects within time, cost and quality constraints.

Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2™ forms part of a pair of publications that are the result of the PRINCE2: 2009 Project to update the PRINCE2 guidance. Its companion is Directing Successful Projects with PRINCE2™.

The title has been designed to be a role specific handbook for Project Managers, Team Managers and Project Support.

The new 2009 edition:

• Explains the principles that underpin PRINCE2

• Describes the PRINCE2 processes in their entirety

• Describes 'Key Themes' of project management, specific to PRINCE2, that are required for the processes to be effective

• Cross-references techniques that may be applied

• Explains how to tailor the method

• Provides context of when and how to use PRINCE2 for different project environments (e.g. standalone or as part of a programme).

Like the 2005 guidance, the book contains chapters on Starting Up a Project, Directing a Project, Initiating a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing Stage Boundary and Closing a Project.

In addition, the guidance also looks at the wider role of the Project Manager, including:

• soft skills of the project manager;

• leading and managing;

• stakeholder engagement and communication planning;

• organisational change management;

• PRINCE2 in different types of organisation and cultures; and

• training needs for project teams.

Key features:
