PRINCE2: 2009 Principles

Continued business justification

A PRINCE2 project has continued business justification

Learn from experience PRINCE2 project teams learn from previous experience (lessons are sought, recorded and acted upon throughout the life of the project)

Defined roles & responsibilities A PRINCE2 project has defined and agreed roles and responsibilities with an organization structure that engages the business, user and supplier stakeholder interests

Manage by stages A PRINCE2 project is planned, monitored and controlled on a stage-by-stage basis

Manage by exception A PRINCE2 project has defined tolerances for each project objective to establish limits of delegated authority

Focus on products A PRINCE2 project focuses on the definition and delivery of products, in particular their quality requirements

Tailor to suit the project environment

PRINCE2 is tailored to suit the project’s environment, size, complexity, importance, capability and risk

PRINCE2 Themes

Business Case

Establish mechanisms to judge whether the project is (and remains) desirable, viable and achievable as a means to support decision-making in its (continued) investment.

Why?

Organization Define and establish the project’s structure of accountability and responsibilities.

Who?

Quality Define and implement the means by which the project will create and verify products that are fit-for-purpose.

What?

Plans Facilitate communication and control by defining the means of delivering the products

How? How much?

When?

Risk Identify, assess and control uncertainty and, as a result, improve the ability of the project to succeed.

What if?

Change Identify, assess and control any potential and approved changes to baselines.

What’s the impact

Progress Establish mechanisms to monitor and compare actual achievements against those planned in order to provide a forecast for the project objectives, including its continued viability.

References techniques Describes techniques

The differences between PRINCE2 and a BoK make them highly complementary.
