Review
"PRINCE 2: a practical handbook, is a good example of a book written by project people for project people. The book complements the CCTA PRINCE 2 manual where the framework of the PRINCE 2 methodology is established. It offers good advice and suggestions on how to implement and utilise PRINCE 2 pragmatically in order to achieve a successful project. The book will be especially useful to those who wish to make use of PRINCE 2 to manage smaller scale projects. A useful addition to any project manager's reference" - The PRINCE User Group Ltd.
