After researching Prince2 for nearly two and half years i’ve finally took a very deep breathe and signed up for two formal training courses on the subject. I’ve long been trying to identify the ‘correct’ way to manage web projects, but so far it has eluded me. I am hoping that Prince2 will help standardise the way I manage projects and make good use of the twelve years web experience I have to date.
Over the last couple of months I’ve also been integrating fundamental aspects of the SCRUM software development methodology at Magnum Photos where I hold the position of Group Web Director.
SCRUM and Prince2 could prove to be a killer combination, but they could also cause too much conflict. Prince2 is structured and process driven, whereas SCRUM uses the emperical approach to management.
