Preparing the Manual

PRINCE2 Manual Tagging for Certification Exam
PRINCE2 Practitioner certification examination is an open-book examiniation. Delegates are allowed to make annotation and tagging on the official manual ("Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2"). Using table of content is the worst approach in searching for right information 

The key strategy is to reduce the lead time in searching.

With the key strategy in mind, the following approach has helped me passed with a very satisfactory score. All thanks to the every second I saved from searching (on top of revision & rehearsal),


Tag the Processes

PRINCE2 Manual Tagging
On top-side of the manual, tag all the processes with their respective abbreviation to save space with stickies. For example, "IP" for "Initiating a Project." You can get list of process abbreviations from the manual or internet.

PRINCE2 Process Tagging
On the first page of each process, write their respective page number for each key activity. 



Tag the Key Topics, Appendix A, Appendix C

PRINCE2 Manual Tagging
On the right-side of the manual, three areas we need to tag with stickies:
  1. Key Topics (e.g. Business Case, all management strategies, PRINCE2 Themes, Process Model & etc.)
  2. Appendix A (Product Description Outlines)
  3. Appendix C (Roles & Responsibilities)


Annotate the Page Numbers on Appendixes

PRINCE2 Appendix A
Similar to approach above, write down the page number of each products on their side.

PRINCE2 Appendix C
Use the empty page on the left to list all roles with their respective page number.


The Strategy

When the manual is ready, it is always wiser to practice on this newly "upgraded" manual. Going through sample questions is very effective approach even though you have done it.

The Search Strategy
  1. While reading the question or scenario, identify which area the question is focusing (i.e. processes, themes, products, roles & responsibilities).
  2. Go to specific tag
  3. Drill down to specific page to look for the details


All the Best
After few rounds, you will shorten the time spent on searching. And all the best to your PRINCE2 certification examination!
