I'm looking to improve my technicians' general approach to and planning of projects. I don't really want to go down the full project management methodology of PRINCE2 etc, I'm looking for a more high level, generic approach.
Anyone experienced such a thing?
If you use PRINCE2 the the foundation qualification is quite useful for people participating in the projects but not running them.
Only takes about 2 days (if that really)
Just label yourself as an Agile PM. In real world terms it means you do sod all and do zero 'management' of a project.
If you're IT based, would ITIL serve you better? I did the PRINCE2 foundation many years ago. Its great if you use it daily, but can be easily forgotten.

Ditto for APM/IPMA

So you know some people who are no good at agile then?
A decent Agile PM/Scrum master makes quite a difference to how a project goes. Just because you don't have a gantt chart doesn't mean nothing is being done.
I did a two day course at the Smallpeice Trust, in Leamingtom.
Was fairly generic.
Wasnt enough to dissuade me from pursuing PM at the next opportunity, so must have been ok.
