What is PRINCE2 ™?

PRINCE2 was published in 1996. It was developed by and is owned by the UK Government, as their standard 'method' for managing projects. Since then, it has been adopted by many public and private sector organisations, as their framework for Project Management.

Why choose PMIS for Prince2 Training?
