[Zippy]

Congratulations!

It proves you don't have to spend silly money to succeed.

Nice one. Got mine in 3 weeks - any top tips?

I've not done the practice papers yet for fear of peaking too early - why can't they computerise it so every backstreet training centre in town can offer it at 48 hours' notice like Microsoft et al?

They could, especially now the Practitioner exam has gone multi guess instead of the old essay format.

I wouldn't worry too much about peaking too early, the more practice you get in the better your odds. I can't offer advice on the new Practitioner exam format as I sat the old one.

Grats on the pass Valluvan, just don't fall into the trap of believing that a Prince2 Practitioner qualification instantly turns you into a PM.

Prince2 Practioner

Got the results last night through email and wooho...Passed the practioner.

I am throughly chuffed with myself about utilising the october bench period to pass Prince2 Practioner through self study...


Now to tackle the real crunch of breaking into Project management,moving away from Technical Consultancy roles....

Well done for passing, but, why not learn how to spell the qualification you just passed? And PRINCE2 should be in capitals.

I look forward to seeing how your project manglement career goes.

Thanks Tyke.I am under no Illusion that passing PRINCE2 Practitioner automatically makes me a PM.

We all need to start somewhere AND thats exactly I am after right now....An opportunity to crossover into becoming a PM...may become starting as a Junior PM in the permie world could be an option.....

Did Prince 2 stuff made any of you a considerably better Project Manager?

Did .NET make you a better software developer?

PRINCE2 is a complete waste of time. Sorry. Being a PM has nothing to do with memorising a collection of useless and irrelevant information

It's all about managing people and being able to forecast problems before they arise. It's not about cramming using 'flash cards' FFS, or adhering to step 1.2.4 after step 1.2.3 or whatever b******* it is these days

Yes, I took the exam, passed and wasted my own time and money

What the world needs least right now are more 'Project Managers' with no experience.

Single biggest risk to any project, and frustration to all working on such projects are wannabe PM's and / or someone bull******* about their 'experience'.

Did .NET make you a better software developer?

No idea, but it certainly saved me a lot of development (debugging) time compared to C/C++: I use it because it gives me real business benefits, not because I want to have it on my CV. If I had to use C/C++ I would not have any time to post on here...
