Ladies and gents, I’m delighted to bring you the first ever review of the Prince 2®️MSP official book.

If you’d told me a a month ago that what will likely be my fastest read of the year is a 200+ page reference guide to programme management, I don’t think I’d have believed it.

Perhaps even more surprising is how good a guide it is - well structured, concise and cogent, skipping all the usual jargon you get with this stuff. Very good foundation to anyone in programme management. Dare I say it I might even read it again…

Leave it to all of you to find something more niche than this for 2026
