Course: PRINCE2® Foundation eLearning Course

Section: Iteration 1

Lesson 01: Starting a New Project

Welcome to the course!

This course is delivered in 3 iterations. Each of them reviews PRINCE2® from a different perspective and adds more detail by building on top of the previous one.

This is the first iteration; the shortest, and the simplest one. There are only 5 lessons here to give you an overall understanding of the methodology. You don’t have to remember everything that is discussed here; they will be reviewed again in the next iterations.

Enjoy the course :)
