What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a project management methodology that is used worldwide. It provides a structured approach to managing projects of any size or complexity, and is designed to be adaptable for various types of projects. PRINCE2 certification is issued by AXELOS and is recognised globally.

PRINCE2 benefits many industries including IT, construction, finance, marketing, the public sector, and healthcare. The methodology benefits complex projects with multiple stakeholders and significant risks. By using a structured approach to project management, PRINCE2 can help an organisation to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to a high-quality standard.
