Rantings of a Road Warrior

I am doing Prince2 Course, while I like the way it thinks about projects, ini­ti­a­tion, deliv­ery and follow-up I can’t help think­ing it’s the cause why MANY projects espe­cially in the pub­lic sec­tor cost so much.

I always think of projects hav­ing a life of their own (True) but Prince2 has the poten­tial to cre­ate a mon­ster where the require­ments of inter­nal cus­tomer (The project) can be larger and more time con­sum­ing than the actual prod­uct deliv­ered by the project.

WHat should hap­pen is to tai­lor­ing the method (Using the right tools etc), but from what I can see, it’s easy to get that wrong. Espe­cially when you have exter­nal expec­ta­tions that you will be using the book, the whole book and noth­ing but the book.

The book inci­den­tally in 2009 ver­sion is 326 Pages (130 Pages shorter than the 2005 Edition).

It doesn’t make it any eas­ier tho.

Time to get back to study­ing, I have my foun­da­tion exam this afternoon.
