OGC - Prince2 Manual - 3rd Edition - 2002

[fashion]

PRINCE2 is a project management method designed to provide a framework covering the
wide variety of disciplines and activities required within a project. The focus throughout
PRINCE2is on the business case, which describes the rationale and business justification for
the project. The business case drives all the project management processes, from initial
project set-up through to the finish of the project.
Many organisations are employing the skills and services of external suppliers, working
alongside in-house resources, to enhance their ability to deliver successful projects.
PRINCE2 provides a mechanism to harness these resources and enable the project team to
work together effectively.
PRINCE2 embodies many years of good practice in project management and provides a
flexible and adaptable approach to suit all projects
