RTFM Units 5 and 6


We put the K into Kwality!

Days five and six of the pre-course work – time to pick up the pace, as the real course starts tomorrow (and who, in the real world, has the luxury of as much preparation as they would like?). So, to finish off, I now need to read the following sections from the OGC manual:

  • From the Components section, Quality in a Project Environment, Configuration Management, and Change Control (“Change Control to Major Tom … Commencing countdown, engines on …”)
  • From the Techniques section, Quality Review Technique and Change Control Approach
  • From the ….. Zzzzzzzzzzzz … Ooops! Sorry about that, I must have nodded off. Not the most thrilling read in the world, is it?
  • From the Processes section, Closing a Project
  • Then, to finish off, the Glossary, the PRINCE2 Healthcheck (Appendix D) and the Project Document Management (Appendix E … now, this one really will send you to sleep)

Whew! Thank goodness that’s over. Does it make any sense? Well, yes it does, but at the moment my head keeps swimming around with PRINCE2-speak, and I’m still having to take a step back to differentiate between processes, components and techniques. I seem to have done alright with the self-assessment questions, and (in isolation) each topic seems quite straightforward, but there are a lot of parts to put together, and I feel as though I have a few bits left at the end which don’t seem to fit in anywhere. Maybe they’re just like the spare screws those nice people at IKEA supply you with in their flat-pack furniture. Oh, well, the course proper starts tomorrow, so stay tuned for more exciting adventures in the world of PRINCE2 training.

Pre-course reading should not be so painful. We produce a short online introduction for students to take before coming to the first day. This takes only 4-5 hours of prep time.
