PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a internationally recognised Project Management Methodology that has become the de facto standard for Project Management in the UK and is, increasingly, being used throughout Europe, Australia, Asia and USA. PRINCE2 encapsulates best practise in Project Management and establishes a framework for control within the project environment. The methodology ensures that a consistent, methodical and controlled approach is adopted for the management of projects.

PRINCE2 is a process-based approach to Project Management. It is a flexible methodology that can be tailored to suit the needs, scale and complexity of any project. The introduction of a common system with common terminology reduces the possibility of ambiguities and ensures that the customer and supplier understand one another, particularly in complex multi-disciplinary projects. Managing with a common methodology simplifies the interface between the interested parties and increases the probability of project success.
