What is PRINCE2?

The methodology formally known as PRINCE2 is a project management methodology that is fast becoming the worldwide standard for best practice project management. PRINCE2 was developed in 1996 by the Office of Government commerce (OGC) in the UK as a response to turning around the increasing number of failing projects.

• PRINCE2 provides a common framework and consistent approach with the emphasis on a controlled start, implementation and closure. PRINCE's key strength is it's constant reference to the business case at the start and close of every stage, ensuring project validity and that the projects appetite for benefit vs risks are delivered to the requirement of the business case.
• PRINCE2 is strong in governance and stakeholder management as it has a project board to direct the project, this is made up of a Project Executive, Senior Supplier and Senior User ensuring that all facets of the project environment are represented.
• The Project Manager manages by exception, this means that the PM is free to manage the project by stages between agreed tolerances set by the project board keeping the level of management to value added only while maintaining control.
• Most importantly of all PRINCE2 can be tailored to suit the need of the project, it can be scaled up or scaled down to suit the size, complexity and risk involved in successfully delivering a project that is fit for purpose.

It is a common misconception that PRINCE2 is a rival to PMBoK developed by the US based PMI, on the contrary they are both highly complimentary. The differences being that PRINCE2 is a project management methodology that can be tailored to successfully manage and deliver any project. PMBoK is not a methodology but a collection of knowledge areas linked to tools and techniques that can be drawn upon to successfully implement a project.
