Maven sees continued growth in training as organisations realise the benefits of establishing a Project Management Office (PMO).
There is no substitute for a firm foundation of knowledge – PRINCE2® certified project managers understand how to set up and execute projects so that they are completed on time, on budget and achieve far better outcomes whilst managing the risks.
People are joining Maven’s PRINCE2™ courses to evidence their knowledge and ability in project management in response to an increase in demand for professionalism by their employer organisations who are keen to claim that their projects are run according to best practice protocols. The increase in demand for PRINCE2® aligns with a rise in the number of organisations who are establishing project and programme offices (PMO) to act as centres of excellence for project delivery and the management of the changes brought about by the projects.
This in turn increases the amount of assurance that is undertaken on projects to try to make sure that problems are discovered early and are put right rather than rejecting the project at the implementation stage.
Melanie Franklin, CEO at Maven says "PRINCE2® is the bedrock of many organisations’ own approach to project management and with the growing interest being shown by PMOs in how projects are managed, many people involved in projects have recognised that they need to understand the basics and get a solid grounding in how projects should be run. The job market remains very competitive and a CV that lacks such a basic qualification will not get a second look."
PRINCE2® is the de-facto standard for project management in the UK. Maven offers a full portfolio of PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner training that provides delegates with a clear, simple and proven process for managing projects.
