PRINCE (PRoject IN Controlled Environments) is a structured method for effective project management. The method was first developed in 1989 by UK agency The Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) and it was established as the UK standard for entire government projects, mainly information projects[1].
Project management is a discipline that is indispensable and rapidly expanding as an organization nationally and globally. To implement new strategies and products successfully, an organization needs to select project managers to introduce new products, services with a purpose of gaining competitiveness in the market. However by selecting a project manager and a team, an organization is not guaranteed successful project outcomes.
In past years different methodologies have been developed to help organizations consider all the necessary components of project management, e.g. planning, controlling, communication and finalization of projects. One of the widely used project management methodologies is the PRINCE2 method, this methodology is based on seven principles and seven themes which will be described throughout this article. While this article is going to be used publicly in the future, it is important to know other properties of this methodology, e.g. scalability, advantages and drawbacks, in order to make the right discussion, while choosing PRINCE2 methodology for a firm.
