What scope does Project Management have?
In UK, project management practitioners must obtain the PRINCE2 qualification if they are to be employed in government contract work or in a major public company. PRojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE) is a project management method. It covers the management, control and organisation of a project. “PRINCE2” refers to the second major version of this method and is a registered trademark of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), an independent office of HM Treasury of the United Kingdom. Accreditation is governed by the passing of two exams – the Foundation and the Practitioner. The Foundation exam is a one-hour, multiple choice exam. The Practitioner exam lasts for 2.5 hours, and is an objective-testing multiple-choice exam. Around the world, exams are administered by APMG-International. PRINCE2 Practitioners must retake the Practitioner exam every 5 years to remain accredited. This re-registration comprises a 1-hour examination set at the same standard as the Practitioner exami
