PRINCE2 plans
PRINCE2 • 5m 37s
Scott Spence, the CEO of CC Learning, speaks about the intricacies and elements associated with project planning. Here's a summarized interpretation of the content provided:
Scott emphasizes the connection between business cases and the benefits they aim to provide. This connection should be evident and strong across a minimum of two management stages: the initiation stage and another subsequent stage where the bulk of the project work happens.
He accentuates the importance of having a comprehensive project plan that provides an overview of the entire project, and in addition to this overarching plan, there should be specific plans detailing each individual stage of the project.
Scott further mentions the significance of using product-based planning, which focuses on the outputs (or "products") a project will deliver rather than the activities that create them.
The creation of exception plans is vital. These plans come into play when things deviate significantly from what was originally planned. Lessons, which are vital insights and learnings from the project, should be collated even before the planning phase starts.
To sum up his point, Scott indicates that project plans are much more than just simple timelines or singular plans that many might anticipate. Rather, they are comprehensive, multifaceted tools that guide the project's direction.
