PRINCE2 versus PMP (PMBOK)


PRINCE2 vs. PMP (PMBOK)

As a practitioner and instructor of both Project Management methods I am often asked by my students “Which framework is better?”   This is an easy question to answer...neither

Let’s compare the basic principles of each framework side-by-side.

The PRINCE2 vs. PMP debate is like comparing red/green apples.  Both serve their purpose and it’s really just a matter taste.

Key point to remember is that the framework does not make the Project Manager.  Only through repeated practice and learned lessons can any individual hope to become successful.
