We are proud to announce that you can now order our products online.
Implementing project management in an organization is not easy. That’s why we are developing a series of products, based on our own experience in managing projects that support the embedding of best practices in project management in any organization.
Templates for project management products are easy to find on the web. So this is not our purpose. We want to provide you with some tools that support the project management team in executing their roles.
Our first product provides the team with a practical product breakdown structure of all PRINCE2® management products. This can be used in multiple ways. You can give your project a kick start by using the project breakdown structure in Microsoft Project or Open Workbench format. You can use a graphical view of the breakdown to discuss with team members why a certain project budget is required. The product breakdown structure can be used as a checklist or as a study aid.
In case our products need your look and feel, your logo, or some specific requirements, please contact us and we’ll make you a proposal that will be cheaper for you instead of having to start from scratch.
In the coming weeks we will release more products through our online shop. So check back our Products section frequently!
Last week, again the same remark I hear soooo often… “There are too many products we have to create according to PRINCE2®. It’s not agile at all. We don’t have time for all of that. We have to manage the project!”.
I do hear and understand this call of so many project managers. But why would PRINCE2® not be agile? Or their teacher did not well explain the concepts of PRINCE2®, or the students didn’t understand the teacher, or for those that didn’t had a teacher, they probably misinterpreted some concepts, or ...
Now, how can I convince project managers that PRINCE2® is agile?
Description
Never forget any project management products anymore and give your project a kick start with our product breakdown structure of project management products.
A product breakdown structure is generally considered as a must have for every project to ensure the entire scope of the project will be covered. But very often, project managers do not include their own products in such a product breakdown structure. The result of this is that no explanation exists of the reasoning for needing a specific budget for the project management activities.
The product breakdown structure we provide you (in different formats) shows the all management products expected by PRINCE2®. They are grouped for Starting Up a Project, the Initiation stage, and the subsequent delivery stages so that you will have all products in your project when these are needed. Moreover, for each delivery stage it is indicated what is expected during the stage itself, and nearing the end of the stage. For the last stage, a separate branch exists to list the closure related products.
Our PRINCE2® Foundation course provides a very sound introduction in how to run a project succesfully using PRINCE2®. PRINCE2® is the international standard on project management developed by the UK Government. During this PRINCE2® Foundation course, X4P goes a lot further than comparable courses by providing additional information on how to implement PRINCE2®. Even though we have a success rate of 98% of students that pass the foundation certification on their first attempt, we do not provide an exam training but focus on the concepts and use of PRINCE2®.
The teacher is especially selected for the sound knowledge in project management practices and the implementation of PRINCE2® in particular.
