Course Overview
Projects IN Controlled Environments 2 (PRINCE2)
ü A key challenge for organizations in today's world is to succeed in balancing two parallel, competing imperatives:
ü To maintain current business operations - profitability, service quality, customer relationships, brand loyalty, productivity, market confidence etc. What we term 'business as usual'.
ü To transform business operations in order to survive and compete in the future - looking forward and deciding how business change can be introduced to best effect for the organization.
ü As the pace of change (technology, business, social, regulatory etc.) accelerates, and the penalties of failing to adapt to change become more evident, the focus of management attention is inevitably moving to achieve a balance between business as usual and business change.
ü Projects are the means by which we introduce change. PRINCE2 defines a project as "a temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed Business Case".
Workshop benefits– PRINCE2@ Practitioner certification training:

We had a group which allowed AllSys Trainer to spend a bit more time on the individual’s needs. It was conducted very well and I personally found both the theory and practical elements very useful in my current job. I am certain that key takeaways will be revisited time and time again throughout my career.
I like the speaker for sharing lots of real life examples thru his experience on how software development project is run and how agile, lean, scrum is applied in real life.
AllSys Trainer is a very good trainer in the field(ACP). He has a very good knowledge about the subject and is very good in giving real time examples to make people (students) understand the concepts. He has indepth knowledge on whatever he speaks and he would make a very good Agile trainer and coach. If you are looking for Agile Trainer or a an Agile Coach, I strongly recommend him.
I must say that he comes across as a exceptionally talented trainer who knows the finer aspects of Project and Program Management. He is an expert in his domain and can communicate in a clear and succint manner. Finally, he is one person who has a wealth of knowledge and he is your person to go to, in case you would want to enhance your career in Project, Program and Portfolio Management.
