7 principles: (Rules to follow on everything)
- Ensure Continued Business Justification (Usually a Costs/Benefits analysis that must be maintained, checked and confirmed regularly)
- Learn from experience (Identifying and sharing lessons across projects both internal and external with other projects)
- Defined roles and responsibilities (Who will contribute what to the project? Knowing what will be expected of each role around the project)
- Manage by stages (Control points throughout the project help to decide if the project should continue with funding or stop. Often linked up to milestones and key points)
- Manage by exception (This works when Tolerance levels are set and then if something threatens a level, something must be done eg. An issue to be raised on Time Tolerance)
- Focus on products (Ensure the products to be made have quality criteria so the customer gets what they want and then its also easier to approve in quality approval)
- Tailor to suit the project environment (Tailor PRINCE2 to size, risk etc … Every project is tailored, often by the Project Manager and then Approved by the Project Board.)
