Safety in Numbers
Excel is a fabulously versatile tool, but it is not easy to make it
clear to users how your spreadsheet reaches its results.
Do you know how the results you use have been derived? One of
the benefits of developing strong spreadsheet skills is that you
can lift the lid on the methods employed. Learn a bit of Visual
Basic, and even macros need not stand in your way.
Nicholson Solutions is a Learning and Performance Institute
accredited learning provider, with a track record of developing
spreadsheet solutions and analysing existing ones.

Benefits
There are many benefits of using
PRINCE2® but primarily it:
• Ensures that the project
management is focused on the
continuing viability of the project in
relation to its Business Case
• Involves senior management in the
project at the right time and in the
right place.
• Focuses on Products which provides
clarity for all parties involved on
what the project must deliver, why,
when by whom - and for whom.
• Facilitates controls at all levels of
management.
• Makes the project’s progress more
visible to management.
• Provides a communication medium
for all project staff.
• Ensures that work progresses in the
correct sequence.
• Allows the project to be stopped and,
if required, re-started completely
under management control, at any
time in the project’s life.
PRINCE2® is an integrated framework
of processes and themes which
address the planning, delegation,
monitoring and control of the six
variables involved in any project, those
of Costs, Timescales, Quality, Scope,
Risk and Benefits.
