    The document provides an overview of the eight processes that make up the PRINCE2 project management methodology. It describes the key activities and objectives of each process: Starting up a project establishes the team and project brief; Planning focuses on identifying products, activities, risks, and creating plans; Initiating a project builds the business case and quality approach and creates initial files and plans; Directing a project outlines how the project board authorizes stages and provides direction; Controlling a stage details how each individual stage is managed; Managing product delivery covers accepting, executing and delivering work packages; Managing stage boundaries plans for the next stage and handles changes; and Closing a project decommissions resources and evaluates lessons learned.

    Prince2 Project Management


    PRINCE2 project management methodology is a process-driven project management
    method which contrasts with reactive/adaptive methods developed by Office of Government
    Commerce (OGC). PRINCE2 defines 45 separate sub-processes and organizes these into
    eight processes as follows:

    Starting up a project (SU)


    In this process the project team is appointed and a project brief (describing what the project is
    going to achieve and the business justification for doing so) is prepared. In addition the
    overall approach to be taken is decided and the next stage of the project is planned. Once this
    work is done, the project board is asked to authorize the next stage, that of initiating the
    project.

    Planning (PL)
    PRINCE2 project management method advocates product based planning which means that
    the first task when planning is to identify and analyze products. Once the activities required
    to create these products are identified then it is possible to estimate the effort required for
    each and then schedule activities into a plan. There is always risk associated with any work
    and this must be analyzed. Finally, this process suggests how the format of plans can be
    agreed and ensures that plans are completed to such a format.

    Initiating a project (IP)


    This process builds on the work of the Start Up (SU) activity and the project brief is then
    form into a Business Case. The approach taken to ensure quality on the project is agreed
    together with the overall approach to controlling the project itself. Project files are also
    created as is an overall plan for the project. A plan for the next stage of the project is also
    created. The result can be put before the project board for them to authorize the project itself.

    Directing a project (DP)


    These sub-processes dictate how the Project Board should control the overall project. As
    mentioned above, the project board can authorize an initiation stage and can also authorize a
    project. Directing a Project also dictates how the project board should authorize a stage plan,
    including any stage plan that replaces an existing stage plan due to slippage or other
    unforeseen circumstances. Also covered is the way in which the board can give ad hoc
    direction to a project and the way in which a project should be closed down.

    Controlling a stage (CS)


    PRINCE2 project management method suggests that projects should be broken down into
    stages and these sub-processes dictate how each individual stage should be controlled. Most
    fundamentally this includes the way in which work packages are authorized and received. It
    also specifies the way in which progress should be monitored and how the highlights of the
    progress should be reported to the project board. A means for capturing and assessing project
    issues is suggested together with the way in which corrective action should be taken. It also
    lays down the method by which certain project issues should be escalated to the project board.

    Managing product delivery (MP)


    This process consists of three sub-processes and these cover the way in which a work
    package should be accepted, executed and delivered.

    Managing stage boundaries (SB)


    The Controlling a Stage process dictates what should be done within a stage, Managing Stage
    Boundaries (SB) dictates what should be done towards the end of a stage. Most obviously,
    the next stage should be planned and the overall project plan, risk log and business case
    amended as necessary. The process also covers what should be done for a stage that has gone
    outside its tolerance levels. Finally, the process dictates how the end of the stage should be
    reported.

    Closing a project (CP)


    This covers the things that should be done at the end of a project. The project should be
    formally de-commissioned (and resources freed up for allocation to other activities), follow
    on actions should be identified and the project itself be formally evaluated.
