Peter Gastberger
Last position:
Senior IT Project Manager at REWE Group
Datacenter audit and subsequent transformation program
- Initial situation: After a critical outage, the datacenter was seen as the cause. A classic audit was to be put out to tender.
- My diagnosis: The technical architecture was not the core problem. What really mattered were the incident, diagnosis, and restart processes, as well as missing transparency around costs and dependencies.
- Impact: The audit was handled pragmatically in-house. The results and budget basis became the foundation for a multi-year international transformation program. After that, I continued as the preferred candidate for a central transformation stream.

Frequently asked questions
Curious about PRINCE2 Practitioner Professionals? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
A professional holding the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification has validated their ability to apply the PRINCE2 methodology to real-world project scenarios. It proves they can tailor the framework to suit different project environments and organizational needs. This ensures structured governance and continuous business justification throughout the project lifecycle.
While the Foundation level confirms basic knowledge of the terminology and concepts, the PRINCE2 Practitioner level certifies the practical application of these principles. Holders can design, adapt, and run projects using the methodology rather than just understanding its theory. This makes them highly suitable for leading complex projects independently.
Many organizations in Austria, particularly in regulated industries and public sectors, rely on the PRINCE2 Practitioner standard to ensure consistent project delivery. Hiring certified freelancers ensures a shared vocabulary and standardized processes across external partners and internal teams. This reduces project delivery risks and aligns execution with European business standards.
To achieve the PRINCE2 Practitioner status, candidates must first pass the corresponding Foundation exam or hold another recognized project management certification. This ensures all practitioners possess a solid baseline of project management theory before demonstrating their practical application skills.
The PRINCE2 Practitioner framework is highly versatile and widely applied in technology, engineering, public administration, and financial services. It is especially beneficial in complex, multi-stakeholder environments where clear roles, responsibilities, and defined tolerance levels are required to control project outcomes.
Freelancers with a PRINCE2 Practitioner certification excel at setting up structured communication channels that work for both on-site and remote teams. In Austria, they bridge regional offices and international stakeholders by establishing clear reporting cycles and stage boundaries, ensuring progress remains transparent regardless of physical location.
The PRINCE2 Practitioner certification requires renewal to ensure the holder's knowledge remains up to date with the latest project management practices. Professionals can maintain their status by retaking the official examination or by logging professional development units through their PeopleCert membership.
A freelance PRINCE2 Practitioner brings immediate structure, governance, and objective oversight to a Project Management Office. They can quickly assess ongoing initiatives, implement standardized health checks, and coach internal team members on best practices, leading to higher overall project success rates.
