PMBOK and PRINCE2 - A Basic Contrast
PMBOK
PRINCE2
Comprehensive
Focuses on key risk areas only;
does not claim to be complete
Largely descriptive,
prescriptive on a high level
Highly prescriptive, especially on
Process Structure, but adaptable
to any size project
Core and facilitating
processes; need to be scaled
to needs of project
All processes should be
considered; also need to be
scaled
Customer requirements driven
Business case driven
Sponsor and stakeholders
Clear project ownership and
direction by senior management
US/International Standard
UK Standard
