• Quality – What the quality requirements and measures are and how the project will deliver them.
• Plans – Steps required to develop the plans and PRINCE2 techniques that should be used.
• Risk – How the project management will address the uncertainties in its plans and the project environment.
• Change – How the project management will assess act on unforeseen issues.
• Progress – The ongoing viability and performance of the plans and how and whether the project should proceed.
