    Prince2 Practitioner

    I just sat one of the most challenging exams in my post uni life.

    Gee it's tough - all that paper flying around for the case study, all the supplementary info sheets, all the tabs in the cruddy Prince2 manual. And that's before you even look at the questions!

    I hope I've passed I don't fancy sitting that again!

      Agreed. My housewife glossed over the material over a weekend and passed no problem.

        Prince 2 = common sense in a 1990s sort of way.

        Who does it that way now anyway? Extreme programming, SCRUM, agile methods, that's the way to get results.

          Hmm, interesting way to describe your wife. Got any more wives doing other types of jobs?

            Practically every project I have worked on in the last 5 years which is about 25 of them have used it or a customised derivative of it.

              Was alluding to the fact that she passed the exam and then decided that 'working wasn't what she wanted to do with her life'. Having kids is hardly an excuse imho...

                Yeah, but do they really use Prince or just say they do? I've worked on plenty of projects where they say they use Prince but really it's JFDI development.

                  Varies I guess. Some just pick and choose the elements that suits them, others use all of it and the majority as you say just say they do.

                    Well done. I'm sure there's a place for you in some god awful public sector hellhole that insists on "following the book" to the letter.
