Day 2 of my 3 days of Prince 2 Foundation training…<\/p>\n
Notable quote: \u201cAt some point you\u2019ll need a detailed requirements document\u201d. This was made in reference to selecting an \u201cend date\u201d. <\/p>\n
I was a little surprised to learn that apparently, after requirements have been gathered, we\u2019re supposed to work out an end date using estimating and scheduling. Of course, we all know that this is a luxury; end dates are frequently dictated and imposed upon us!<\/p>\n
Page 239 of the Prince manual discusses Management of Risk. It was interesting to learn that risks can have a negative effect and a positive effect. In other words, a risk can be an opportunity. Amusingly the lecturer believed that the manual has \u201cmessed” with a good English word. <\/p>\n
Equally amusingly, page 241 states that risks should be owned by the person best situated to keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, there is some overlap between Scrum<\/a> and Prince 2<\/a>. Both approaches advocate openness and honesty, never <\/strong>tell the Executive<\/a> or Product Owner \u201cwhat they want to hear\u201d.<\/p>\n However, Prince 2 does take a moderately long time to \u201cstart producing the goods\u201d, there\u2019s a lot of up front documentation\/design before production begins. <\/p>\n Technorati Tags: Prince<\/a>, Prince 2<\/a>, project management<\/a>, Risk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My comments and thoughts on day 2 of a 3-day Prince 2 Foundation course<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-project-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.craigmurphy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
