Project and Programme Management

People Issues and PRINCE2®
PRINCE2 is largely silent on people management techniques. People Issues and PRINCE2 illustrates how various project characteristics may cause people to behave differently from their daily business environment, and offers several management theories for predicting human behaviour. It examines key points of the PRINCE2 model and how the Project Manager can ensure the effectiveness of the people directing and contributing to the project at those points (building the Project Board and team; planning, estimating and delivering the product; managing the team’s performance; and facilitating its reassignment when closing down the project).

PRINCE2® AND MSP®

‘The Executive Guide to Directing Projects: within a PRINCE2™ and MSP® Environment’ is an accessible summary of the full guidance in a portable format suitable for quick reference or a quick read – a “ten minute guide” for the busy project board member. It introduces the additional considerations that project boards need to take into account if the project is being run within a programme and/or portfolio managed governance structure. The Executive Guide is aimed at experienced senior managers and project board members who are already familiar with PRINCE2, and therefore do not require frequent reference to the full guidance.
