The main objective of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the structure and key terminology of the method. This includes creating an understanding of the need for project management and how PRINCE2 meets this need. Upon completion of the course, students will be familiar with the characteristics and context of a project and the benefits of adopting PRINCE2. They will understand the purpose of the PRINCE2 roles, management products, themes, and principles, and they will be aware of what decisions the project manager is expected to make. Lastly, they will be fully versed in the purpose, objectives and context of the PRINCE2 processes and be well prepared to take the PRINCE2 Foundation Certification Examination.

Metody hodnocení
There will be eight student deliverables of which five will be used for grading purposes. They are as follows:
1. The first deliverable is an individual assignment worth 10% of the total grade. This assignment will be used to evaluate each student’s understanding of project management, level of articulation, leadership potential, and overall course commitment. The essay is due in week 2.
2. Deliverable two is a teamwork assignment. Based on their in-class discussions, students will be required to describe their Team Management Policies which they will use to facilitate cooperation during the work on their team assignments. This deliverable is worth 15 % of the grade.
3. Deliverable three is a group assignment worth 20% of the total grade. Students will be supplied with a Project Brief and Product Descriptions needed to develop the Initiation Stage Plan. Using these documents, the group must develop a cohesive Initiation Stage Plan which they will follow from week 9 until the end of the course in week 13. The assignment is due in week 8.
4. Based on deliverable number 3, Initiation Stage Plan, each group must prepare and deliver a presentation detailing their plan. Each student in the group must present their own work, not the work of another team member. In extreme cases, where it is obvious that the presenter is not the author of the work, that portion of the presentation will be deemed as plagiarised and each student in the group will be docked 10% from their final grade.
5. Deliverable four is worth 45% of the final grade and is due in week 13. Students will be provided with the project Configuration Management and Quality Management Strategies. Using these two strategies as a foundation they will develop the Risk Management and Communication Management Strategies, the Project Plan, a revised Business Case, a Benefits Review Plan, and the first delivery Stage Plan.
6. Highlight Reports will be submitted to the Project Board in week 6, week 9 and week 12. A standard Highlight Report template will be provided to the students. Groups not providing the reports on time, in the prescribed format, or who demonstrate in the report that they are not managing their work and the project in a professional manner will be docked up to 10% from their final grade.
7. A round table discussion will be held in week 13. The purpose of the round table is to allow students to discuss their accumulated lessons learned, share perspectives on project management, and comment on how they will apply the learning experience in the future. Attendance at the round table is mandatory unless otherwise agreed by the instructors. Unexcused absence will result in the docking of 10 % from the students’s grade.
8. Two peer evaluation deliveries are included in the course. The first evaluation is due in prior to class in week 8, the second prior to class in week 11. Each student must submit a completed evaluation form for each member in their group. A standard form will be provided to students prior to week 8. Evaluations will be consolidated by student. Each student will receive the results of their evaluation once they have been consolidated. Week 8 evaluation are used to inform student of their strengths and weaknesses as defined by their group peers. Week 11 evaluations will represent 10% of the student’s final grade.


Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
