Managing successful projects with PRINCE2

I've been a career organisational systems and quality analyst and found that much of the recently purchased book is common sense - to me, at least. However, a great help to those who need and want to learn how to organise and run projects successfully.

This was brought as a birthday present for my otherhalf. They passed the exam (pleased). Has all the information to pass the exam and a excellent reference thereafter.

Delivered in time

Definitely the resource for PRINCE2 project management, but don't be fooled into thinking that the PRINCE2 system can be applied to any project whatsoever, because it's absolutely designed for projects that are drawn up with corporate managerial structures and wouldn't be suited to very small projects at all. This is not made clear and it's purported to be scalable to 'any project', which is totally incorrect. So I would advise anyone seeking to learn Project Management skills to take this into consideration.

Very good & working well. It was returned because I needed a higher version

Needed this as I am studying and didn't want to buy a new one. Great condition and packaged well

It is covering effectively the topic of prince 2 prep for the certification achievement. Very helpful tool to work with

Well written accompaniment to the course.

1. Not announced that this was going to be a used book when I found it. 2. Very bad quality. The book had 50 plastic page markers attached, had water damage for 1/3 of all pages and was full of highlight marker (meaning all text was marked) If I did not need it immediately for a training the week after arrival, I would have returned it. Not acceptable for second hand book to me.

This is an excellent reference and easy to read book. Well written and it is a must if you want to do well in the Prince2 exams. Book arrived on time and in excellent condition.

This is an official textbook so you'll need it for the PRINCE2 exam. Unlike many other reviewers I found the quality suitable - the book arrived in tact, the pages are not falling off yet. My major gripe is not so much the cost (although it's expensive), but how atrociously heavy it is, it seems they have used the heaviest, densest paper imaginable and printed with pure lead on it. It's heavier than a typical laptop, and could have been made twice as light with any normal paper, even in a hard cover. So be aware if you plan on hauling it around just like any other handbook.

PRINCE2 and consequently its reference book from Axelos are good in principles only. The rationale, the methods and approach and finally the didactic materials are quite theoretical, without being able to land effectively and safely on the real world. If you want or need a nice piece of paper, aka Project Management certification, here you go.

Ein sehr gutes Fachbuch. Nicht nur für die Prüfung hilfreich, sondern auch für das tägliche Projektmanagement.
