PRINCE2 Foundation Exam
The PRINCE2 Foundation exam aims to measure whether a candidate would be able to act as an informed member of a project management team using the PRINCE2 method within a project environment supporting PRINCE2.
To this end they need to show they understand the principles and terminology of the PRINCE2 method.
PRINCE2 Foundation exam candidates must be able to...
- Describe the purpose and major content of all PRINCE2 roles, the eight components, the eight processes and the sub-processes, and the techniques.
- State which project management products are input to, and output from the eight processes.
- State the main purpose, and key contents, of the major management products.
- State the relationships between processes, deliverables, roles and the management dimensions of a project.
PRINCE2 Foundation Exam Preparation
The Foundation questions can be categorised into three types:
- Those that you find really easy and can answer without too much thought.
- Those that you probably know the answer to but the wording of the question needs some digesting. There are a lot of 'negative' type questions so do be careful over these.
- Those that, even though you understand the question, you are not 100% sure of the answer.
A good strategy is therefore to do the exam paper in three passes.
When you are first presented with the paper, work your way through, answering all the questions where the right answer is immediately obvious to you.
Avoid any temptation to deliberate too long over any question. If in doubt move on to the next one.
This first pass will ensure that in the unlikely event that you do run out of time at least you will have answered all the easy questions.
For anybody who has done the right level of background study and preparation this alone will probably be enough to secure a pass.
