In this insightful segment, Andy Murray, the Lead Editor of PRINCE2 V7, sheds light on the pragmatism of project management. He stresses that the core approach is to achieve the desired results with the least amount of work. Highlighting human tendencies, he notes that if reports are not being read, they cease to be produced. An alarming observation he shares is the inadequate follow-up on lessons learned reports, often neglected due to their perceived non-essential nature. Murray also touches on the transient nature of projects, noting how managers tend to shift focus to their next venture even before formally closing out the current project.
