About PRINCE2®
PRINCE2® is a project management methodology
practised and recognised on a worldwide scale.
It’s a clearly defined framework, based on a
published manual, “Managing Successful Projects
with PRINCE2®” - 2017 Edition”.
The PRINCE2® method is composed of 7
themes, 7 principles, and 7 processes that equip
practitioners with the knowledge to manage
projects in a range of environments.
In the updated 2017 edition of the manual,
there is a renewed emphasis on tailoring these
themes and processes to suit the project and
the organisational needs. This tailoring is now
examined at Foundation level, as well as at
Practitioner level.
