Heidi already has her own room. It just happens she is also being evicted and downgraded to a smaller room. Two little people will need it more.

Comment on Is Prince2 the Answer? by What is PRINCE2

What is PRINCE2 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:38:28 +0000

It is actually a very good question. I suppose the answer is Yes if done properly. The idea of having a control framework in order to increase the chances of delivering a successful project can not be wrong. One of the most important concept in PRINCE2 is to tailor it and develop your own PRINCE2 method which can be benefitial in the long run.

In terms of paperwork, as you said, you probably already do 90% of it. So why not do it in a systematic way.

I always believed that anyone who is half-sensible would feel slightly underwhelmed by Prince2, since most of it is stating the bleedin’ obvious. However, experience has shown how badly most projects are actually run, so I lean towards it being useful, especially as a stick to reign in other people!

Of course, I’ve yet to see anyone actually implement Prince2 as-written. For example, when I worked at Imperial the Powers That Be decided that the bit around stage boundaries wasn’t important, and that you can carry on from stage to stage without needing any reviews or authorisations to proceed to the next stage. Which kind of kicks the ass out of the whole thing and is a classic “How did we blow X million on something that isn’t needed”. I think one of the key thing when doing Prince2 project management is to take the time to tick the boxes and make sure the checks and balances aren’t being skipped for expedience’s sake.

Thanks Eddie, a salutory tale. It is so easy to overlook it as you organise everything else but if you like people enough to take them sailing you owe them a safety briefing. This case demonstrates that it’s for the skippers benefit as much as the crews.

Talking of “In Case of Emergency” …. does everyone have and ICE number in their mobile?

Sheesh people, come on! just because a dog kills and eats a rabbit doesn’t make it mean. Its just nature. Sure rabbits are cute but at of the day-
A rabbit is prey, a dog is a hunter, a labrador (which this dog clearly is) is bred to hunt, and if it catches something that lookes tasty, it will eat it up.

After all, lambs are cute, and we eat them. And we eat rabbit, duck, cow, deer, pig ect ect… That rabbit was probaly just gonna get eaten by a cat or fox anyway.

So I say, good on that dog for catching it. Rabbits are fast!
