PRINCE2 defines a project as a “temporary environment” created for the purpose of delivering one or more products as defined in the Business Case. A project is characterized by having a beginning, an end, and clearly defined parameters: schedule, budget, quality, output.
Project management can be used by anyone, anywhere, regardless of the segment, area, size, or geographical location of the organization. Project management gives every organization the power to transform visions and plans into reality, thereby strengthening its own competitiveness. Every project has a predetermined start and end state that we want to achieve. Project management methodology will help you.
Project management is therefore intended exclusively for the purpose of implementing change. For example, upgrading an information system, constructing a building, marketing campaign, manufacturing a product, or providing a service. A project addresses what to do, when and how to do it, with what resources, and to what standard. A project differs from normal (operational) activities.
The goal of a project is to implement changes; a project is always temporary, it has a beginning and an end; each project is unique in what it brings to users; compared to operational activities, a project is much more risky; it is not about everyday activities, processes that are well-established in the organization; working on a project requires managerial skills, excellent planning, and management.
In more than 200 countries around the world, and this number is still growing. Organizations and managers around the world have come to appreciate PRINCE2 project management primarily because it is a general methodology that can be used for any project regardless of scope, type, organization, location, and culture.
PRINCE2 includes a set of principles, practices, and processes. This allows you to adapt your project to current requirements and environments. The PRINCE2 project management process model teaches you how to plan, manage, complete, and successfully deliver projects throughout their entire life cycle. How and what PRINCE2 helps with:
It is flexible across the project
It manages deviations from the plan
It organizes the project in a structured way from start to finish
It standardizes terminology and simplifies communication on the project
It involves management and other roles in the project where necessary
