Project Management/PRINCE2
Appearance
PRINCE2
PRINCE2 has seven principles of project management:
- continued business justification
- learn from experience
- define roles and responsibilities
- manage by stages
- manage by exception
- focus on products
- tailor to suit the project environment
And seven themes:
- business case
- organization
- quality
- plans
- risk
- change
- progress
These principles and themes are encapsulated in the seven processes (which form the basis from which this book shall examine PRINCE2):
PRINCE2 | Pre-Project | Initiation stage | Delivery stages (usually multiple) | Final stage |
Directing | Starting Up a Project (SU) | Directing a Project (DP) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Managing | Managing a Stage Boundary (SB) | Closing a Project (CP) | ||
Initiating a Project (IP) | Controlling a Stage (CS) | |||
Delivering | Managing Product Delivery (MP) |
Left to right represents time. Top to bottom represents decreasing decision-making power.
