What is PRNCE2?
 PRINCE2 is detailed project management method (HOW)
 PRINCE2 is a structured (sequential) project management
method based on principles and themes that originate
from lessons learned from projects
 The PRINCE2 project management approach is:
 process based
 product based

 PRINCE2 creates project organisation structure with clearly
defined roles and responsibilities
 PRINCE2 recognizes performance projects factors for time,
costs, quality, scope, benefits and risks

Project definition according to PRINCE2
©AXELOSLtd.2013.MaterialisreproducedunderlicencefromAXELOS.
"A temporary organization that is
created for the purpose of
delivering one or more business
products according to an agreed
Business Case"

5 Factors that differentiate Projects from Business As Usual (BAU)
Factor
Change Temporary
Cross-
Functional
Unique Uncertainty
3OV0203
Changes in the
business as Usual
(BAU) in the form of a
new products
delivered by the
project and with
those new products
there will be changes
in the organization
(e.g. new processes,
training to the end
users, etc.).
The project has a
finite beginning and
end of what
distinguishes it from
what every day
dealing with the client
organization.
Similarly each project
phase has it's starting
and ending date (with
agreed tolerances).
Customers and
suppliers have various
perspectives,
motivations,
expectations and
attitudes to the
project
Bringing together of a
temporary team with
different skills
working together to
introduce a change
that will impact others
outside of the team.
The project is
implemented in a
unique environment /
context
Among other things,
the uniqueness is also
another period of
time in which the
project is conducted
(different place in
time, different laws
and regulations, etc.)
Project involves a
higher risk level than
regular business
operations
Each project is
uncertain venture can
be successful or a
failure to enhance the
chance of successful
completion of the
project we need to
manage uncertainty in
the project, i.e.. the
risk

6 project performance variables (effectiveness aspects)

benefits

PRINCE2 structure
 PRINCE2 method involves 4 integrated elements:
 The principles - 7 rules (a project compliant with PRINCE2 must be
compliant with all the principles)
 The themes - 7 project management areas
 The processes - 7 groups of activities specifying step by step what
should/must be done within the project its lifecycle
 Tailoring PRINCE2 to the project - tailoring PRINCE2 method to suit
the project/organisation environment/context requirements
 PRINCE2 method also provides 2 general techniques:
 product-based planning
 quality review

 Soft-skills
 Communication techniques
 Human resource management
 Contract negotiations
