Structure of a PRINCE2® Project Each PRINCE2 project is divided into a number of management stages, each forming a distinct unit for management purposes. These management stages run in sequence and do not overlap. They are separated by decision points or “stage boundaries” that enable management to authorize or prevent progress to the next stage.
Stages correspond to natural steps in the project lifecycle and usually correspond to the output of a significant product and to key decisions concerning commitment of resource.

It is a generic methodology that can be applied to any project in any
industry/domain irrespective of project scale, type, geography or
culture.

Structure of PRINCE2® The PRINCE2 method addresses project management with four integrated elements of principles, themes,
processes and the project environment
THE PRINCIPLES
These are the guiding obligations and good practices that determine whether the project is genuinely being
managed using PRINCE2®. These are seven principles and unless all of them are applied, it is not a
PRINCE2 project®.

Structure of PRINCE2®
THE THEMES
These describe aspects of project management that must be addressed continually and in parallel
throughout the project. The seven themes explain the specific treatment required by PRINCE2® for various
project management disciplines and why they are necessary.
THE PROCESSES
These describe a step-wise progression through the project lifecycle from getting started to project closure.
Each process provides checklists of recommended activities, products and related responsibilities.
There is a companion guide, Directing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 which addresses the PRINCE2®
method from the viewpoint of senior personnel, specifically Project Board members.
