BPUG Congress Blog

The BPUG Congress in February 2008 promises two days of informative case studies from people running some of the world's most complex projects. The event offers a fantastic networking opportunity for people who value knowledge sharing. Sandra Lomax, Chair of BPUG, is using this blog to raise some of the important issues surrounding programme, project and risk management.

PRINCE2 update

People mistakenly think that PRINCE2 is a static method but it isn’t. OGC is committed to ensuring that PRINCE2 is fit for purpose. BPUG is heavily involved in this improvement process; as you may know I am the Senior User on the PRINCE2 Board. Since the last version of the manual was published all the issues identified by users were logged by BPUG. In tandem with the issues log, we’ve been running a series of workshops where users have had the chance to air their views of the current manual.

PRINCE2 is changing – but not out of all recognition. The strong PRINCE2 brand is something we all want to keep hence the new manual will retain the PRINCE2 title. The process to produce the new manual is known as PRINCE2: 2009 ProjectÔ. The new version will demonstrate refinements to the existing version and will be aligned to MSP™ and M_o_R®.

Together the best practice portfolio is a reflection the user community’s needs and is a collaborative effort. And as we all know, the best projects are a team effort.

The Congress will be the ideal opportunity to find out about how PRINCE2 2009 Project is shaping up.
