What is PRINCE2® ?
PRINCE2® (PRoject IN Controlled Environments) is a project management method designed to ensure that a project meet its objectives (within constraints of cost, time and quality) and that it delivers stated benefits.
Our PRINCE2 Courses are Accredited by the APMG.
We focus on PRINCE2 because that is what we do and know best. Users of the method since its early days we have seen it evolve and used in many and varied environments. The latest edition, PRINCE2:2009 is a real evolution of the method demonstrating how it has grown by the impulse of its users and user groups. This edition is down to earth, practical and proves that the method is ready for even further expansion.
The method is widely used by many of the UK’s leading private and public sector organizations. It is now also used worldwide in a large variety of businesses and organizations.
The PRINCE2 certification is an exam-based qualification composed of two levels :
Foundation and Practitioner.

PRINCE2® Structure
The 4 integrated elements of PRINCE2®
The PRINCE2 method is made of different elements which used side by side within a project make up a coherent system allowing any customer to manage a project globally in a more efficient way.
These elements are the 4 integrated elements of PRINCE2. This means that they are useless individually. The strength of the method lies in their combined use.
These elements are :
the Principles
the Themes
the Processes
the tailoring (of the method to the project’s environment).
We describe briefly each of those elements in each of the tabs above.
Click on each separately to discover them.
The PRINCE2 method uses the notion of Principles to identify concepts necessary to the good application of PRINCE2 in your projects.
These Principles are self-validating which means that they constantly verify to be true whatever the project.
There are 7 Principles.
The Themes are the major elements of any project. Each one of them cover a particular subject.
They are :
the Business Case
Organization
Quality
Plans
Risks
Change
Progress
The Processes explain one after the other and step by step what happens during a PRINCE2 project.
Each Process contains activities which relate to a particular moment of the project.
Each activity defines some necessary and recommended actions.
Theses are the 7 Processes :
Starting Up a Project
Directing a Project
Initiating a Project
Controlling a Stage
Managing Product Delivery
Managing a Stage Boundary
Closing a Project
It is essential to adapt the use of the method to the project and its environment.
Each element will be done adequately and in relation to the specific need of the project
When PRINCE2 is used throughout an organisation (business or institution) it is then referred to as Embedding of the method.
Whatever of Project Manager does during a PRINCE2 project, one essential question must always come to mind :
To what measure must I apply this to my project ?
You must never apply the method to the letter but on the contrary, always use it appropriately to keep its logic and meaning.
