Sustainable PRINCE2® Training

PRINCE2® is a process-based approach for project management which provides an easily tailored and scalable method for the management of all types of projects. It is a universally accepted, process-based method for effective project management, used extensively by the UK Government as well as the private sector (both in the UK and internationally) as offering best practice guidance on project management. SP2 infuses PRINCE2® with elements from our PRiSM Methodology and training to ensure sustainable outcomes.
