Remembering the Components

When you start learning PRINCE2, remembering all its elements is not easy.
So i constantly try and find new ways to memorize items.

For a while i have been thinking about a sentence that would help us remember the 8 components of PRINCE2.

Let’s first line them up :
1. the Business Case
2. the Organisation
3. the Plans
4. the Controls
5. Quality (in a Project environment)
6. Risk (Management)
7. Configuration Management
8. Change Control

i simply remember them as B-O-P-C Q-R-CM-CC

But Carlo, one of my participants, started a nice sentence which i added a variation to and so got the following :

Big Open Projects Can Quickly Return Companies’ Management Crazy Cash.

so, there you have it, a strange sentence maybe, but something that might help some of you easily remember the 8 Components of PRINCE2.

keep in touch,

Do’s and Don’ts

I have been asked to jot down a few Do’s and Don’ts about project management. I have enlarged this slightly to include the implementation of a structured project management method and a look at what benefits some users feel they have obtained.

DO remember that projects are about change. A quote from John Barnfield of Reading Borough Council in a recent article about a project case study is, “Change frightens people and they need to understand what you are doing, why you are doing it and how it affects them.”
