About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the PRINCE2 7 Foundation exam provide concise review of the core project management processes and key documents used across the lifecycle. Cards summarize objectives, main activities, transition points and responsibility roles for processes such as Start Up a Project, Initiating a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product Delivery, Managing a Stage Boundary, Directing a Project and Closing a Project.
Use the deck to refresh terminology, definitions and management products - Project Brief, Project Initiation Documentation (PID), Work Packages, Business Case, Highlight/End/Exception reports - and to practice identifying which process produces or authorizes each deliverable. Ideal for quick recall of concepts, reporting lines and decision points tested on the exam.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Start Up a Project
- Initiating a Project
- Controlling a Stage
- Managing Product Delivery
- Managing a Stage Boundary
- Key management products
