They are not one off activities and – An aspect of project management that requires specific treatment for the PRINCE2 processes to be effective “If the processes are considered as the time-based activity list then the Key Themes are the reference manual. If the process requires action the Key Theme provides guidance on how it should be done.” © TSO 2008 The PRINCE2 Key Themes Business Case The why Organisation The who Plans The what, how and when Risk Managing uncertainty Progress Controlling time and costs Quality Assuring the delivery of fit-for-purpose products Issues & Changes Controlling scope © TSO 2008 Management Products • Scaling philosophy – Designed for typical projects – Can be scaled up – Can be scaled down • Will be supported by a set of templates – with embedded guidance – and quality criteria “PRINCE2 requires information and decisions, not documents and meetings” © TSO 2008 The Project Environment • Context based guidance – – – – – – – – – – – – – © TSO 2008 Projects in a programme / not in a programme Customer/Supplier commercial relationships Working with project or programme offices Using PRINCE2 with specialist methods Links with OGC Gateway Procurement Policy projects Feasibility projects R&D projects Multi-organisation projects Evolving projects Compulsory projects etc How To….. • PRINCE2 in Practice – Directing a Project – Managing a Project • Contain – Practical guidance • • • • Lifecycle based Key Theme based Context based Role based – Trouble-shooting – Cross references to other Bodies of Knowledge © TSO 2008 Next Steps • • • • • • • © TSO 2008 First Drafts now completed!
