What Is PRINCE2®?

PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a generic and global project management framework.

In the 1980’s the UK Government found there were common project problems and required a solution to these problems. These project problems included delivery time, budget and quality issues. Similar to many private organisations, they wanted a solution that focused on deliverables.

And so PRINCE2® was born.

Due to the truly generic and global nature of PRINCE2®, it can be applied to projects of any type, scale, location and culture and thanks to the method’s proven principles, organisations that adopt PRINCE2® can significantly improve their organisational maturity and capacity across many areas of the business. These areas may include research, product development, IT, mergers and acquisitions, business change and many more.
