ABOUT PRINCE2
PRINCE2 - stands for
PRojects
IN Controlled
Environments - is a major worldwide project management framework, or methodology. It takes a different approach than the PMI’s PMBOK, but the goal of both is to improve project performance. While PMBOK is generally well-accepted worldwide, it is by far the leading approach in North America. PRINCE2 on the other hand is strongest in the United Kingdom, with a strong presence in Europe, Australia, and other typically English-speaking countries outside North America. But both are expanding their reach on a constant basis as the world gradually “projectizes.”
Many – check the bogs and forums – think that a strong, well-rounded project manager should earn both the PRINCE2 and PMP certifications, and it may be that many managers, at least in certain parts of the world, would look favorably on individuals that possess both. Furthermore, it has been stated that PRINCE2 is a process driven method for the management of projects, while the PMBOK consists of the tools and techniques of project management. In any case, it would seem wise for professional project managers to at least be familiar with both.
Max Wideman on PRINCE2 vs PMBOK
Max Wideman is one of the pioneers of professional project management and is known for his early and extended work with the Project Management Institute (PMI), and he certainly influenced the PMBOK as part of his endeavors. See "
Comparing PRINCE2 with PMBoK®" by R. Max Wideman for his viewpoint on this subject.
AIPM on PRINCE2 vs PMBOK
The
Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) offers its own project management certifications – for both individuals and organizations. In addition, Australia sits somewhat at the crossroads of PRINCE2 and the PMBOK, since both are well represented in that country. So, for another thought-provoking viewpoint and in depth comparison of PRINCE2 and the PMBOK, see "
A Comparison of PRINCE2 Against PMBOK" published on the AIPM web site.
PRINCE2 for PMPs
Another nice overview from the perspective of a PMP is entitled "
How PRINCE2 Can Complement PMBOK and Your PMP", by Jay M. Siegelaub of the PMI Westchester, New York Chapter. It's worth a good look to see how the perspective of PRINCE2 can help in the career of a PMP certified project manager.
