PRINCE2® Elements
- Each project which is undertaken must have a stated business case indicating the benefits and risks of the venture and a properly defined and unique set of outcomes or products.
- For each of the products there is a corresponding set of activities to construct them and the appropriate resources to undertake the activities.
- Projects must have an organisational structure with defined responsibilities; and a set of processes with associated techniques which will help plan and control the project and bring it to a successful conclusion.
PRINCE2® Benefits
- Identifies the outcomes or products that must result from the project and helps ensure that they are produced on time and to budget; as well as focusing attention on their quality.
- Makes the project's progress more visible to management and gives senior management responsibility for approving progress and authorising each stage of the project
- Ensures that work progresses in the correct sequence and separates the management and specialist aspects of Organisation, Planning and Control
- Has a well established User Group dedicated to the support, promotion and strengthening of the method.
PRINCE2® Stages
A PRINCE2® project is divided into a number of stages, each forming a distinct unit for management purposes. The delivery of products to the agreed quality standards marks the completion of the stage. A PRINCE2® project is divided into stages based upon:
- The sequence of production of Products/Deliverables;
- The grouping of Products into self contained sets or associated Processes;
- Natural decision points for review;
PRINCE2® Management Controls
PRINCE2® provides a structure of management controls to be applied throughout the project. They are defined at Project Initiation to ensure:
- The project is set up with clear Terms of Reference
- There are agreed and measurable Objectives
- There is an adequate management structure.
These controls cover all aspects of project activity and, at the highest level, allow senior management to assess project achievement and status prior to committing further expenditure. Controls are applied through meetings of project management and project staff, with each meeting producing a set of predefined outputs.
