Notes:

PRINCE2 Foundation

PRINCE2 has established itself as the premier approach to managing projects. PRINCE2 is generic capable of being applied to any kind of project scaleable and business-driven. Organisations that have adopted the PRINCE2 have claimed that they have been able to achieve greater customer satisfaction during and at the end of projects, to reduce costs and to realise greater benefit from project deliverables.
