PRINCE2 Principles Cheat Sheet
Cheat sheet overview for PRINCE2 Principles
PRINCE2 Principles:
Continued Business Justification
Ensure the project remains viable and delivers value throughout its lifecycle.
Regularly review the business case to confirm it's still valid.
Learn from Experience
Use lessons from past projects and continuously apply learnings.
Document experiences and integrate them into future work.
Defined Roles and Responsibilities
Clearly outline who is responsible for what within the project.
Ensure all roles, from management to team members, are well-understood and agreed upon.
Manage by Stages
Break the project into manageable stages for planning, control, and review.
Make decisions at the end of each stage before proceeding.
Manage by Exception
Establish tolerances for time, cost, scope, risk, and quality.
Escalate issues to higher management only when limits are exceeded.
Focus on Products
Define clear project deliverables (outputs/products) and ensure they meet quality expectations.
Tailor activities to deliver these products effectively.
Tailor to Suit the Project Environment
Adjust PRINCE2 to suit the size, complexity, and environment of the project.
Use only the relevant parts of the methodology based on project needs.
These principles are at the core of the PRINCE2 methodology, ensuring successful project management by focusing on structure, flexibility, and continuous improvement.
