What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2, a globally recognized Project Management standard, boasts a framework that offers strategic direction in the conceptualisation, management, and delivery of projects across different sectors.

Key Principles of PRINCE2

The nerve center of PRINCE2's effectiveness lies in the usage of its seven principles. These principles, when thoroughly understood and implemented, can suffice to unleash your organization’s project management potential.

  1. Continued Business Justification - This principle ensures that the project contributes positively to organizational strategic goals. It emphasizes that the project should remain commercially viable from initiation to close.
  2. Learn from Experience - Ensuring learnings from previous projects are maintained and analyzed can significantly improve future project success. PRINCE2 emphasizes creating an environment in which knowledge transfer is prevalent.
  3. Defined Roles and Responsibilities - This principle focuses on ensuring every team member understands their role, objectives, and responsibilities, promoting effective Communication and Teamwork.
  4. Manage by Stages - By breaking down a project into manageable and controllable stages, this principle allows for better Risk Management, resource allocation, and control.
  5. Manage by Exception - By setting tolerance limits for elements like time, cost, quality, scope, risk and benefits, this principle allows senior management to focus on critical issues.
  6. Focus on Products - Focusing on a project's outcomes (product-centric view) rather than its activities helps maintain focus on delivering quality results.
  7. Tailor to Suit the Project Environment - This principle emphasizes that PRINCE2 should be customized to suit the project's specific environment, size, complexity, importance, capability and risk.
