Structure of PRINCE2
PRINCE2 comprises a set of seven principles. The principles are guiding obligations and group practices that need to be followed on a PRINCE2 project. PRINCE2 also has seven themes and the themes of seven aspects of project management that must be applied throughout project. There is a set of processing which are the steps in the project lifecycle for PRINCE2 project. And finally tailoring prince to to the project environment.

Originally provided by the office of government commerce in the UK OG City. And this guidance covers not just projects but also a programs and the business as usual for services. But is important to understand how PRINCE2 fits into OTC best practice guidance. Now let’s look at some of the things that PRINCE2 does not provide. It does not address special aspects of the project. It is a generic method and it can be used alongside industry specific or type specific techniques. If you are using PRINCE2 to manage a major building project PRINCE2 will set and cover the project management aspects of that project but it wont.
PRINCE2 does not address detailed techniques and by this we mean project management techniques. It doesn't come with some of the specific detailed techniques that project managers use quite extensively, such as earned value analysis or critical half analysis. Now there are couple of techniques that have a specific PRINCE2 approach and will cover the topics on the course. PRINCE2 does not cover interpersonal skills such as leadership capability. These scales are very important to a project manager.
