Textbook in PDF format PRINCE2 is the globally recognized project management method, built upon years of experience and industry best practice, from which all organizations can benefit. It has been tried and tested by private, public, and third-sector organizations to successfully deliver new products and services, and to bring about transformational change. This guidance shows practitioners how the PRINCE2 principles, practices, and processes, in addition to people, are the foundation of effective project management. It explains how the method can be adapted and tailored to fit any context, regardless of the project’s purpose, scale, type, organization, geography, or culture. This edition has been designed with the following philosophy: ● to ensure that PRINCE2 remains adaptable and flexible, and can be used for all types of projects in a wide range of organizations and environments, ● to provide guidance that retains and strengthens all the aspects of PRINCE2 that remain valid, while adding new complementary content in a way that maintains and builds on the integrity of the integrated framework, ● to not replicate guidance that is provided in other methods such as Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) and Management of Risk (M_o_R 4), but instead to offer additional value to anyone involved in a project, ● to emphasize how PRINCE2 is designed to be applied and tailored appropriately according to the project environment and the project requirements, ● to enable project teams to recognize the many ways that outputs can be delivered, including iterative (agile), linear, and hybrid approaches.
