PRINCE2’s View of Project Management
Five characteristics of Project work (than regular business operations)◦Change: Projects are used to introduce
changes to businesses◦Uncertainty: Projects will almost always
introduce something new and unknown◦Temporary: Many times, a project team
comes, finishes the project and goes away
◦Unique: In some major or minor ways, projects are always unique
◦Cross-functional: A project needs people with different skills
