Total Learning time 200 hours:
- 12 tutored hours distant tutoring,
- 188 hours independent and team study.
This course requires the student to reflect upon his or her project management experience from a PRINCE2® viewpoint. This module requires the student to reflect on his or her career. Some students will have worked on projects employing the PRINCE2® methodology and others not. Therefore, three possible scenarios could be drawn from to describe Personal Learning Outcomes:
- PRINCE2® was successfully used on projects with which the student is familiar.
- PRINCE2® was unsuccessfully used on projects with which the student is familiar.
In the projects that the student is familiar, PRINCE2® was not used. However, knowing what the student now knows about PRINCE2®, he or she describes how using PRINCE2® could have improved the management of the projects and/or how the method employed on the projects was more suitable or superior to PRINCE2®.
Learning outcomes IX7529-LO1 to IX7529-LO3 are assessed through the spreadsheet of Personal Learning Outcomes (containing twenty separate situation statements and related Personal Learning Outcomes) and a capstone essay.
- The essay should be a maximum of 2,500 words, excluding footnotes and appendices.
