Projectmanagement op basis van PRINCE2® Editie 2009 - 2de geheel herziene druk

Bert Hedeman

Voor trainers is er gratis extra materiaal bij dit boek beschikbaar. Dit is te vinden onder het tabblad Training Material. Log in met uw trainersaccount om het materiaal te raadplegen. Let op: De 1e druk is nog leverbaar.Note: This book is available in several languages: English, Dutch.Dit boek is ontwikkeld op basis van twee uitgangspunten. Ten eerste is het bedoeld als studieboek voor iedereen die zich op een degelijke wijze wil voorbereiden op het PRINCE2 Foundation examen, dan wel het PRINCE2 Practitioner examen. Duidelijk is aangeven welke tekst niet hoeft te worden bestudeerd voor het Foundation examen.Ten tweede is het een praktisch gebruikersboek voor iedereen die professioneel te maken heeft met projecten, waarbij al of niet gebruik wordt gemaakt van de methode PRINCE2. In dit boek wordt de procesgerichte aanpak van projectmanagement beschreven en worden de themas behandeld die daarbij nodig zijn. De inhoud van dit boek is afgestemd op PRINCE2® Editie 2009.Dat wil zeggen dat de beschrijving van de processen en themas is gebaseerd op deze methode, alsmede de terminologie. Kenmerkend voor PRINCE2 zijn de beheerste overgang van de ene naar de andere fase, de Business case als kern van een project en duidelijke afspraken over wie waarvoor verantwoordelijk is. Door het volgen van de methode wordt de beheersbaarheid en ook de slaagkans van projecten enorm vergroot. Bovendien maken een uniforme werkwijze en terminologie projecten beter vergelijkbaar, overdraagbaar en overzichtelijk.In dit boek worden abstracte begrippen of complexe beschrijvingen extra verduidelijkt door middel van casusteksten. Op deze manier wordt zo veel mogelijk een vertaling gemaakt van de theorie van PRINCE2 naar de praktijk. Er wordt tevens ruim aandacht besteed aan het toesnijden van de methode PRINCE2 naar de context van de verschillende projecten.Dit boek is op de volgende punten verbeterd ten opzichte van de eerste druk:– Expliciet onderscheid van de leerstof voor het PRINCE2 Foundation examen: De tekst die niet hoeft te worden bestudeerd voor PR2-Foundation, maar wel voor PR2-P is gemarkeerd door middel van een verticale streep in de kantlijn – Een groot deel van de tekst is herschreven, waardoor deze beter toegankelijk is en beter aansluit op de kennis en ervaring van de lezer.
