PRINCE2® has often been called the de facto project management methodology. It was born from PRINCE, a UK government standard only meant for information systems. However, over the last few years, it’s been reinvented and continually upgraded. This is why there are so many benefits of PRINCE2 for organisations and individuals that adopt its methodology.
Benefits for individuals
Widely recognised certification
PRINCE2 is a globally recognised qualification across multiple industries. As such, featuring a PRINCE2 certification on your CV highlights your expertise and ability to successfully manage projects no matter the industry or location of the role you’re applying for.
Ideal starter qualification
PRINCE2 is an ideal qualification for those new to the project management industry. It teaches the fundamental principles of managing a project, and the common language used. As a tailorable methodology, PRINCE2 can be applied in a variety of different project scenarios regardless of scale or environment.
Enhanced skills
The PRINCE2 framework teaches the core skills required for a career in project management, and provides a structured approach that enhances an individual’s ability to initiate, plan, execute and manage projects effectively.
Continuous professional development
For those already pursuing a career in project management achieving a PRINCE2 certification showcases your commitment to continuous professional development. Renewing your certification every three years, as required, ensures you stay updated with the latest project management trends and best practice.
Networking opportunities
Attending a PRINCE2 virtual or classroom training course will offer an opportunity to network with other project professionals. Plus, once certified, you will have the chance to join PRINCE2 communities and forums where you can connect with others in the industry to share experiences, ask questions and learn from each other.
Benefits for organisations
Standardised approach
PRINCE2 provides a standardised and universally applicable framework for managing projects. For an organisation, providing PRINCE2 training for all members of your project management team ensures they all follow the same approach and speak the same language, leading to greater consistency in project delivery.
Increased stakeholder confidence

The methodology also encourages regular communication with stakeholders, further enhancing that trust as the project progresses.
Scalability and flexibility
PRINCE2 can be tailored to suit the size, complexity and environment of any project. Training your project team in a methodology with this capability means that regardless of the project requirements your staff will have a consistent approach to use.
