G’day,

Has anybody had any experience with using PRINCE2 project management methodology in the real world ?

I have passed both exams but there doesn’t seem to be much call for it in the Oil and Gas Industry in Perth, wa ?

Thanks,

Kevin.

Don’t let the fact that they don’t ask for PRINCE2 put you off. All PM methodologies are the same behind the corporate wrapping.

Different lexicons, same meanings.

Semms to me that Prince2 and the real world are worlds apart.

Hence the term PINO (Prince In Name Only)
