PRINCE2 2009 – Author Blog December 2008
- 15 Dec 2008 10:41
As I write I'm waiting for the Quality Review feedback of the fourth draft of "Managing a Successful Project Using PRINCE2" and I'm preparing for the feedback workshops for the pilots that have been running since August.
Armed with that feedback we will be updating draft four to hand over the final authors' draft to TSO's Production Team. The manuscript will go through a process of copy-editing and typesetting prior to the final cycle of quality review.
The work of the authoring team does not stop there! In parallel to the TSO production activity we will be:
-
Completing the final authors' draft of the companion "Directing a Project Using PRINCE2"
-
Creating first draft manuscripts for the pocket books
-
Updating the "Think PRINCE2" book
-
Creating templates, checklists and tutorials that will be available to download from the PRINCE2 Knowledge Centre
-
Working with graphics experts to review and improve the diagrams in both the Managing and Directing publications
-
Liaising with the project team responsible for updating the PRINCE2 qualification scheme
-
Producing release notes explaining the changes from PRINCE2 2005.
Over the coming months and in particular leading up the launch next year, I can be found at a number of exhibitions and conferences providing an update on the PRINCE2 2009 project. If you want to come and have a chat, my current schedule is:
15th December 2008 – Integrating PRINCE2®: 2009 and MSP™, hosted by the Best Practice User Group, Chester University
15th January 2009 - Wales PPM Community of Practice, Cardiff Hall

If you want to hear what other people have to say about the current draft of PRINCE2 2009, TSO have extracted some of the comments from the quality reviewers. This can be found on the official Best Management Practice website.
