Overview
PRINCE2® 2017 is the method used for planning and managing projects in the public and private sectors. The method is used for a wide variety and size of projects. PRINCE2® is universally accepted as best practice project management.
PRINCE2® (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured project management method that can be applied regardless of project scale, type, organisation, geography or culture. It is an integrated framework of processes and themes which address the planning, delegation, monitoring and control of the six variables (aspects of project performance) involved in any project, those of: ‘Costs’, ‘Timescales’, ‘Quality’, ‘Scope’, ‘Risk’ and ‘Benefits’.
