On the whole PRINCE2 is an invaluable qualification to have behind your belt, being an established toolkit, recognized worldwide and the European standard project management qualification. Whether you’re a fan or not, a unifying qualification has numerous advantages as it gives a standard project management approach and allows a common project language. On the other hand: there are a lot of people making money out of PRINCE2 training so you’ll hear about the wonderful benefits all too often. In reality, PRINCE2 certification is not for everyone; there are certain mistakes that can be made when applying it and certain situations when it may not be so useful.

Particular areas of expertise are online strategy, search engine optimisation, enterprise content management, project portfolio management and software development. Duncan shares his thoughts about project management, along with many other subject matter experts, through his website Project Smart It&#8217;s said there are no new project management sins, just old ones repeated. It&#8217;s also said that we don&#8217;t learn the lessons from past projects and this must be true, otherwise why would we keep making the same old mistakes. In his article, &#8220;Lessons Learned &#8211; Why Don&#8217;t we Learn From Them?&#8221; Derry Simmel, board member of PMI&#8217;s PMO SIG, identifies two common problems preventing us learning valuable lessons from past projects: We think the lessons don&#8217;t apply to us. We want to get things done. &#8220;The sad truth [...]]]></description>
