3.1 How scenarios in PRINCE2 V7 are used in the book and exams
Andy Murray • 2m 30s
Andy Murray, the Lead Editor of PRINCE2 V7, shared insights on the thought process behind structuring the manual. A significant concern during its development was the concept of "cognitive load", which refers to the total amount of mental effort being used in working memory. The team was aware that an overload of information could hinder understanding and retention. To address this, the manual was designed to introduce concepts progressively, thus facilitating gradual learning and reducing cognitive strain. Moreover, by incorporating scenarios in the manual that are also used in the examination, candidates can focus on the questions during the test without the additional burden of familiarizing themselves with new scenarios. This approach was rooted in the desire to simplify the learning and testing experience, ensuring that candidates can effectively understand and apply PRINCE2 principles without unnecessary stress.
