What is PRINCE2®?
PRINCE2 is a project management methodology that provides a structure for the management, control and organisation of a project.
PRINCE2 helps managers ensure their projects are delivered on time, to budget and with an end result that delivers benefits and meets the project's stakeholders' expectations. A major revision of the method was completed in 2009.
Origins
PRINCE2 is a project management methodology owned and maintained by the UK Office of Government Commerce (OGC). Although its roots are in government information technology it summarises best practice from a wide variety of industries and backgrounds, and its successful application to different types and scales of project has seen its popularity grow to become the de facto standard for project management in the UK. PRINCE2's proven success in managing a diverse range of projects has seen it spread organically across the globe where it has been readily adopted by private and public organisations alike. As a result PRINCE2 is now used actively in over 50 countries worldwide.
Benefits
Using the PRINCE2 method the following key benefits can be realised:
- Minimised risk of project failure
- Reduced waste and increased productivity
- Higher levels of customer satisfaction
- Confidence to take on all change programmes
The framework is scalable, systematic and can be used for a huge variety of different projects. It takes you through key project stages: starting up, initiation, controlling a stage, managing product delivery, managing stage boundaries and closing a project.
