Description

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, from 13 April to 30 September 2020 individuals are now permitted to print PDFs for exams and use PDFs or official e-books on a second e-device (portable digital devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops) during open book exams.

PRINCE2 is globally recognized for delivering successful projects.

The PRINCE2 6th Edition guidance places a strong emphasis on the scalability and flexibility of the method and on how best to tailor it to the complexity and specific requirements of a project.

Key updates:

The new 2017 edition publication is the manual from which the syllabus and the examinations are set and supports the updated PRINCE2 certification for both Foundation and Practitioner examinations.

The second impression of the sixth edition of Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 (2017) includes, in response to feedback on the first impression, a range of minor amendments to improve the overall quality of the guidance. None of these changes has any impact on the PRINCE2 Foundation or Practitioner examinations.

The changes to the guidance include:

Reading an up to date methodology to assess how PRINCE2 can be tailored to my particular project.
Barry MacBride 22 November 2017
I purchased the 2017 update and went through the new sections on tailoring and links to themes. I like the "change" from configuration management strategy to change control approach. The manual is also much easier to read without the columns.
Lubomir Slocik 16 January 2018
PRINCE2 2017 Manual is very welll prepared and written, providing a lot of usefull examples and tips for implementing project management based on PRINCE2.
Joy Moitra 18 March 2018
I have purchased the Kindle version of the Manual (Prince 2 2017). I am from India and I will appear for a paper exam from Kolkata. Simplilearn is saying that I will not be able to carry my Kindle to the exam center for my Practitioner exam. I want to know why? And why is the Kindle version available for sale in Amazon in that case?
Sasha Kushnir 4 April 2018
Hi Joy,

I’m really sorry to hear about your frustrations and lack of clarity! Personal devices are not allowed in the examination room in order to ensure alignment with exam regulations and maintain exam security. The kindle version is available as a convenient way to prepare for the exam, but is not intended for use in the exam itself.

Hope this helps!

Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2® 2017 is a book I would like to keep with at my desk for referencing it to do my job in a better way and applying PRINCE2 agile methodologies in best possible way to get maximum value.
Michael Mutch 3 July 2018
Purchasing the 2017 edition of Managing Successful Projects with Prince2 was the best decision I made!
Lee Sills 13 July 2018
Very good book with well layed out and logical sequence.
James Lowis 18 September 2018
The study materials are well constructed and easy to follow. This allows for quick reference points throughout working on projects and grants me clarity that I am conforming with best practices when running a project or programme.
Margarita Georgieva 26 September 2018
The publication is very detailed and well organised. The material is usable both for personal development and cpd as well as to get ideas for teaching Project Management to college students. I particularly appreciated the way project management processes are outlined and explained.

I did my Prince 2 Practitioner qualification on the 2009 edition. It was very interesting to read the 2017 edition, and see that Agile is brought into the equation.
AshleyB 12 December 2018
Completed Prince2 Foundation and Practitioner training course with SPOCE. Passed the Foundation exam and currently working towards Practitioner.

Very informative and educative not only for passing professional examinations but also for a reference for daily activities.
Kevin Dunne 17 January 2019
Fundamentals of Prince2 Projects, principles, Themes, Processes and tailoring a Project.
This book helped me to pass my Foundation exam with PeopleCert
Cathy Edwards 22 January 2019
Good source of reference to help with the projects I am involved in at work.

Jamie Smith 21 February 2019
A very well laid-out manual which covers each theme and process comprehensively
JAM 22 March 2019
I think the biggest change between the 2009 and 2017 versions has been the focus on the company and in adapting PRINCE2 to the needs of organisations and project environments.
The 2017 update has been a work based on a collaborative approach, collecting feedbacks from a large number of professionals.
The general structure of PRINCE2 with its seven Principles, Themes and Processes remains unchanged. But the emphasis and treatment of them has changed.
The seven themes are of obligatory application in every project. They have not changed but there are differences in the way they are approached. In 2009 they are Purpose, Definitions, Approach and Responsibilities.
In the 2017 edition they are:
1. Topics: this section now includes the purpose and definitions or key concepts for understanding the topic.
2. PRINCE2 requirements for the topic: the minimum requirements are established so that the treatment of a topic can be considered adjusted to PRINCE2.
3. Guidance for the effective use of the theme: practical aspects on how to apply the themes according to the organization and the project. In short, related aspects on how to adopt the theme.
4. Techniques: techniques that can be used to manage the theme.
The great advantage of Prince2 is that being a methodology (not a compendium of good practices) a project manager has all the tools to lead a project from the beginning.

Now I understand Prince2 Project Life Cycle.
Richard Wood 23 May 2019
The manual has a clear layout with well-defined sections and examples that can be used in the real world.

Very structured project management handbook. It is worth of reading for a couple of times and very useful for project management professionals.
Mohamed Emara 3 July 2019
Never thought that it’d have clear layout and structure.
Great to see the agile approach. Considering PRINCE2 agile for practitioner as next step.

The only negative i have is that the book cover got split after one week of reading. Seems like there was not enough glue in between.
Steve Hayton 12 July 2019
Having previously done the Prince2 Foundation and Practitioner course plus exam in 2014 my 5 year registration had come to an end. I purchased the 2017 manual early in 2019 and used it alongside some of my projects with customers. A couple of dedicated study days the week before the exam coupled with exam simulators gave me the confidence to take the exam without formal tuition.
Chiara SPOLAOR 15 July 2019
Interesting manual but….
I bought the e-book and was told at the exam that only the paper book is admitted, which was very disappointing.

I checked it out after the exam, and yes this is mentioned on your website. Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who made this mistake.
Why buying an e-book costing as much as the paper version, if it is totally useless for the exam? It is a non sense. A warning should be stated very clealry, with very big caracters when you buy the book.
Hannah Lenton 1 August 2019
The only way to really get to grips with prince2 is to understand the manual back to front. I cannot over state the need to read through the manual multiple times.
Helen Palmer 30 October 2019
Very useful textbook, I thumb through it a lot and have tabbed important pages.
Scott 13 November 2019
This is a very informative publication.
Pam Kaur 17 February 2020
Excellent book, well written, easy to understand and reference
Cloe Berardo 17 March 2020
The book is very detailed and comprehensive. All you need to pass the Foundation exam is there.
Ester G 29 April 2020
Very complicated book, written for people with some knowledge and experience in projects.
Neil Walker 5 May 2020
Actually found the book a fairly long read, as I was doing this after work in the evenings it was hard to keep the momenteum going, but got there in the end.
Peter B 8 July 2020
Fantastic resource. I refer back to it often when starting up new projects.
