PRINCE2 7 – Managing Successful Projects Manual

PRINCE2 7 – Managing Successful Projects

PRINCE2 is one of the most widely used methods for managing projects in the world. It is a structured project management method that uses the experience gained from thousands of projects, as well as contributions from countless project sponsors, project managers, project teams, academics, trainers, and consultants.

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.
