Project Management

I am planning on doing some project management training while I have time but to figure out which is better is taking me forever...

PRINCE2

PRINCE2, or PRojects IN Controlled Environments, is a process-driven project management method.

From what I can find on the internet, to be PRINCE2 qualified, you have to pass the Foundation and Practitioner Exams. I haven't yet found a place in SA where I can take this officialy acreddited exams

SCRUM

Scrum is a method for managing work, improving morale, and achieving very high productivity. Scrum is noted for its simplicity, its high level of transparency, and a team based approach to work. Scrum is an agile method for project management

Which of these are better? Where can find training on these? Any recommended reading?

With respect to  Prince 2, my company does it - Business Connexion. That's where I did my mine.

Good luck :)

You can use PRINCE 2 with MSF for Agile Methodology (Combination) which I personally use and as a combination it's very powerful, I seriously recommend it.

I've also used Chestra (Siemens) and  Smith/Mcleod (UCT) and this is by far the best.

MSF training is coming soon to Cape Town, I'm not sure whether the one in Joburg is already finished. If you're in Cape Town I suggest you sign up.
