Making PrinCe2 a lean and green method of running projects

Alan Wade, Business Management Consultants

14:30-16:00

Lean and green project management approaches revolve around three critical decisions: the first is to decide if the project is really needed and that the benefits proposed are much greater than the investment in the project. The second decision is to ensure that plans are relevant, realistic and environmentally sound utilising minimum resources to achieve the project’s objectives. The third and final critical decision requires effective measurement of progress to ensure that the project is following the mean and green principles throughout its life cycle.

This workshop will help you identify how PRINCE2 methodology facilitates project efficiency by eliminating waste and improving the quality and value of project outcomes.
