PRINCE2 7 Made Simple: Updated for 7th Edition

As a previous PRINCE2 practitioner who has been engaged in business analysis work for the last three years rather than project management, I was looking for a book to refresh my PRINCE2 knowledge without rambling on the way the official PRINCE2 book does. I am happy to say that this book has been a bit of life saver in that regard. It is only 100 pages but somehow manages to do a better job of explaining real world PRINCE2 and how to tailor it to project of various sizes. There is even a short section on the 'evils' of Agile and one might reconcile the two in a project setting. In short, I would have paid three times the price for the benefits that it has brought me.

Quite an enjoyable and accessible introduction to PRINCE2 without the intensity of a full body of knowledge. An informal writing style by an experienced professional.

I found the book an easy read and provided a good refresher before heading the manual for or formal explanations.

If you are new to Prince2, this is the book for you. It presents the subject matter in a way which is practical, and easy to follow. If you are planning to do a study course for the Prince2 exams, this is a useful introduction and reference guide. I believe the diagrams in this book are superior to those in the Prince2 manual, and are much easier to understand and follow. An engaging read and superb book.

Well written, great text.

My Son said this was ok but not the best book for the exam

A well-written summary of the PRINCE2 method. I found this a useful first step when studying in preparation for a PRINCE2 course - it gave me a detailed overview before tackling the impenetrable manual! I only gave it 4stars because I found the main process diagrams rather confusing. But it's still the best PRINCE2 2017 book currently on the market, as far as I can see.

If you in any doubt about the overall content and style of this book then download the sample. It gives a lot more actual content than most samples. This is the book to read before you get into the full blown books on Prince 2. Especially if you are just starting out. I found it an easy read that has allowed me to understand the subject as a whole. Whereas the full book was a bit a slog that put me off going for certification. The diagrams are clear and kindle handles them well. I prefer to read white on black and this book is one of best I have seen in that format. Finally price, considering the cost of official books are you going to grudge paying less than £5 for a book? I didn't.
