I don't think it's boring. It depends on the project being run, the people involved, and I do actually think it serves a good purpose. The world is a better place having PRINCE2.The cycle of life: born > learn > work > learn > dead.Comment

Prince 2 is often asked for but the vast majority of companies will take an experienced non qualified PM over a newbie PM with Prince 2 and little or no experience.

And as chef said - a winning personality and a drive to get things done goes a long way too.Comment

I thought the OP said that he was a BA? In which case, the ISEB qualification in Business Analysis would be better as a starting point rather than PRINCE2. Of course it's Just a shade uinder £2k (or it was when I last looked) so a bit more than the practitioners exam."Israel, Palestine, Cats." He Said
