Who was at the PRINCE2:2009 launch?

By Melanie Franklin, CEO, Maven Training.

Last Tuesday (16th June) I attended the PRINCE2:2009 launch event, which was sponsored jointly by the OGC, the TSO and the APMG. There were lots of people from these three organisations, along with the authoring team for PRINCE2.

Also there were Liz Berryman (who has built up a lot of knowledge in how to write OTE-style questions), APMG assessors Emmanuel Gianquitto (Quality), David Watson (Change) and AnneMarie Byrne (P3O), Colin Bentley (former PRINCE2 Chief Examiner) and Emma Jones (the current one). From the APMG, Richard Pharro (CEO) and Nikki Kelly, along with Collis Boucher (representing translations).

Mike Allen from BPUG was there along with Mike Acaster. From the OGC were there, along with Ray Frew (who is a PRINCE2 trainer) and Scott Spence (who flew over from Australia representing Crazy Colour).

Sue Vowler (P3O writer), Kate Winter and Elizabeth Harrin were also at the event.

There was a quick presentation about the changes to the method, and it was overall an interesting event. I had a chance to see lots of the community and was delighted to exchange some ideas about the market.
