My brother never tires of telling me that he is good at organising and managing things. In fact, we joke that he is our family’s ‘project manager’!
Reflecting on these conversations, I’m wondering whether project management might be an excellent fit for him. He could put his skills to the test by booking Knowledge Train’s PRINCE2 training, offered either in-person at a training venue or online.
For example, during Knowledge Train’s PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner training course, my brother would learn how the PRINCE2 project management methodology helps teams deliver projects on time, on budget, and to scope. He would be taught how the method works, as well as how to tailor and embed it across different project scenarios. Since PRINCE2 is designed for managing any project, knowing how to tailor the method is especially important for a PRINCE2 project manager – particularly if the next project differs significantly from the previous one. Completing the course would put him in a strong position to pass the PRINCE2 exams and achieve the PRINCE2 Foundation & Practitioner qualifications.
I know that my brother has never used a project management method before, and so where better to start than with PRINCE2? PRINCE2 is very well known and has been widely adopted by organisations, plus it could give his CV a boost. The Foundation & Practitioner qualifications are widely considered to be necessary for project managers who want to manage projects using PRINCE2. I think PRINCE2 can be a very helpful starting point for aspiring project managers.
Let’s hope my brother follows my advice!
