PRINCE 2
You are required to write a short briefing document to the Board of Directors of an organisation that works within the construction industry that is considering whether to adopt PRINCE2®.
In writing the briefing document you need to choose an organisation, real or imagined, and provide a short background section providing details about the organisation and what that of projects they specialise in. Your Background section needs to include the company size, employees, types of projects they specialise in. If you are using a real organisation you must state your source of information about the organisation in the Background section. The only criterion that you must adhere to in describing your organisation is that they currently do not have a formal project management method in place and need advice on the best way forward.
Your briefing document needs to include the pros and cons of adopting PRINCE2®, alternatives and your recommendations (you need to include at least 3 other alternatives). You must also include how PRINCE2 will look like from an operational basis for the company. Your briefing document must also contain references to the project management literature, with the emphasis being on peer-reviewed papers in academic journals.
You will also need to demonstrate skill in structuring your briefing document appropriately. As a minimum you will be expected to write a clear introduction and concluding section and in addition you will be expected to structure the rest of your briefing document in a coherent and logical fashion. Further, you will be expected to write in a style that is readable and presents your arguments in a clearly understandable fashion.
