The AI team takes a deep dive into the PeopleCert book Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 (2023) which serves as a comprehensive guide to the project management methodology. The content covers the seven PRINCE2 principles, such as "ensure continued business justification" and "focus on products," and introduces the seven practices: Business Case, Organizing, Plans, Quality, Risk, Issues, and Progress, which describe essential project management aspects. Furthermore, the source details the project lifecycle processes, including (1) Starting up a project, (2) Directing a project, (3) Initiating a project, (4) Controlling a stage, (5) Managing a stage boundary, (6) Managing product delivery, and (7) Closing a project, explaining the activities, objectives, and responsibilities for each. It also outlines the various management products such as the Business Case, Risk Register, and Issue Report, which are crucial for effective control and communication within a project's framework, emphasizing the importance of tailoring the method to suit different project contexts and scales.

The book is available on Amazon, together with similar books on managing projects with PRINCE2
