Φ Directing a Project with PRINCE2TM

Look, I know you are busy and that you're probably already sponsoring and governing projects, representing user interests or suppliying goods or services to PRINCE2 projects - all with looming deadlines and a multitude of stategic management activities to juggle, so I will jump straight to the point.

To the uninitiated, a successful Project Board seems to have a weird mix of skills including the strategic planning of a Field Marshall, the diplomacy of a UN Negotiator and the apparent David Copperfield-like ability to always pull the Rabbit out of the Hat!

However, the simple truth is that truly effective PRINCE2 Project Boards have a structured, proven approach to directing any project and a flexible adaptability to respond situations that develop through the business life of the project.It's called project governance and defines the accountabilities and responsibilities for strategic decision-making across the project.

Governance is the organization's PRINCE2 project's answer to these two questions: Who is accountable for work results, and who is responsible for performing work processes?

And if you are responsible for setting up or management a Project Office (PMO) then this is also for you!

If you need to assess your organisation's capabilities with regard to a set of project critical success factors and against a "good practice" model of project management, and be able to describe and understand the benefits of using PRINCE2® ... 

If you need to determine the applicability of PRINCE2® to your organisation as a basis for project management environment ...

If you need to formulate Business Cases which will justify the establishment of a PRINCE2® approach to project/change management in your business ...

If you are responsible for conceivinConceive the “way forward”

Then this is for you.

Over the last 12-24 months the recession has hit businesses and project professionals hard and never before has there been a stronger need for business change from the top. I have been bombarded with requests from new and experienced senior managers to deliver a training product that will teach you the critical skills of PRINCE2 Project Board Governance, but to do so at a time and place that suits YOU.

So I created my Home Study version of my Project Board training seminar for Senior Managers or those who direct projects from within a programme.

Φ Can YOU give me an answer to ALL of these PRINCE2 Project Board Governance Questions?: 

What is expected of me?
What should I expect of the Project Manager?
How do I know if the Project Manager is applying PRINCE2 appropriately?
How do I delegate authority - yet keep control?
What decisions am I expected to make?
What information will help me make decisions?
What constitutes an effective Project Board?
How do we Tailor PRINCE2?


- if not, then you must secure a copy of my Project Board Governance Primer

This will provide you with the knowledge and tools to provide:

Appropriate levels of control based on a project's complexity, importantance, and risk
Set up a controlled environment based on Project Management Best Practice
Learn how to apply Senior Managers to take on the lead roles
Become champions of the Project Environment
To allow Senior Managers to participate as Programme & Project Board members

Governance is best understood if one assumes that the PRINCE2  methodology, standards, and processes are already in place. Governance was created as a solution for organizations that had these elements in place, but
found that significant problems with effectiveness and efficiency were still occurring.

Looking at the problem, these experts found that Project Management Methodologies, standards, and processes answered the question, "What should be done?" but failed to answer the question, "Who should do it?"

Without governance, there is a loophole. The manager in charge of the work being audited can say;
"I didn't know about that rule." 
Or, "I didn't know it applied in this situation." 

Governance closes that loophole.

Governance makes it very clear, in advance of the work, who is accountable to make sure that work follows the methodology, standards, and processes 

This home-study version is the next-best thing to face-to-face training. It's all meat... and it's a superb deal for anyone unable to secure a spot in one my expensive PRINCE2Project Board Governance For Directing Successful Projects live training events. 

The PROOF that this simple system can turn anyone into a Competent PRINCE2 Project Board Member, without attending management school, yet allows you to develop your ability to set strategic direction, appoint the best senior management team, and go on to provide top-level direction and control for consistently successful projects -

Φ Leave the office on Friday night...provide project leadership and direction by Monday morning.

I totally and completely understand why so many managers consider PRINCE2 Project Board governance to be "hard", or "mysterious", or even "scary". But that's because you have yet to understand the PRINCE2 Methodology and it's terminology - once you do, all the voodoo will fall away...

That's why I created this system.


It removes the mystery and confusion about directing and authorizing project endeavours to accomplish business benefits. It is as drop-dead simple as humanly possible to learn Directing a Project in the way it step-by-step reveals everything to you, and lays out the clearest path possible for anyone to follow.

This will put you 10 steps ahead of even the most experienced senior managers.

You get 8 videos and an accompanying Workbook with full colour pictures of the PowerPoint slides used within each video - with convenient space to make notes...here's a quick excerpt showing a typical page:
