How do CAPM vs PRINCE2® Foundation Certificates Differ?

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) and PRINCE2® Foundation certificates offer different approaches to project management. CAPM, governed by the PMI, is process-oriented and focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary to manage projects effectively. It follows the PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide.

On the other hand, PRINCE2® (Projects in Controlled Environments) is a methodology that emphasises a detailed, step-by-step guide for managing projects. It is product-based and divides each project into manageable stages.

In terms of geographical popularity, being a certified project management associate is highly recognised in the USA, Canada, and Australia, while PRINCE2® is popular in the UK and Europe.

Does PRINCE2® ensure successful projects?

No! PRINCE2® does not provide any guarantees of success. It gives the project management framework for projects, and if applied correctly, it should increase the probability of project success.
