Have you recently passed PRINCE and having difficulty gaining experience?
This can be a challenge, you want to manage a project and put your learning into practice, but until you have some experience the opportunities don’t come your way.
Some suggestions:
1. Try offering your services as project support, or, if you are friendly with a Board member, offer to help with their Assurance responsibilities.
2. Use your specialist skills in a Team Manager role for a small project, drafting out a Work Package for yourself.
3. Try implementing PRINCE in a personal project
Let’s explore 3. a little further.
Who would the Board be? The family? Much more challenging than work colleagues.
What would we do during Starting Up? Obviously the roles and team structure would be notional and is best kept to yourself, I doubt the family will understand.
Outline Business Case, should provide an interesting challenge, but no more than a Project Product Description. Lessons Log if you done this before, what about asking friends? Project Approach, doing the work yourself, or bringing in trades people?
Initiation, I would doubt you will get much benefit from attempting to write all 4 strategies, but a Communications Strategy with some stakeholder analysis may help. Prepare a PBS and Product Descriptions should give you some great experience.
Do the work and manage some Risks and Issues, then produce an End Project Report.
