[Linda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as well structured as the PRINCE2 manual and felt it contained an over abundance of bulleted lists. Good information but disappointed after PRINCE2

[Qasim Zafar · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm in the final stretch for my MSP, MoR, P30, and MoV certifications, which I have been preparing for a while now, and I must say, the books produced by The Stationary Office have been comprehensive enough to get to the heart of the matter of the subject-matter while simultaneously cutting the unnecessary fat. I would highly recommend these certifications to add value to the PRINCE2 certification.

Finished the book, passed the Foundation and awaiting the Practitioner results.

Not as comprehensive as Prince2 as you'd expect dealing with managing at a higher level, but it's easy to read, well written and makes perfect sense as a mechanism for best practice Programme Management.
