PRINCE2™ is a very adaptable project management method but new users particularly find knowing how and where to adapt it to the size and scope of their projects somewhat daunting. This can lead to over-zealous adherence to unnecessary levels of formality and detail in smaller, low-risk projects, and the impression of excessive bureaucracy on the part of PRINCE2™. Conversely, it can also lead to inappropriate short-cuts being taken in other cases, undermining the integrity of the method, and the control and management of risk that it provides.

PRINCE2™ is about controlling the various risks to which projects are subject. This manual details how to achieve successful projects in terms of processes, documentation and organization - but it also identifies where people issues, such as politics, motivation, absence, incompetence and disagreement, are most prone to arise in projects. It then provides best-practice, OGC-endorsed guidance on how to plan for and deal with these issues.

It sets out a framework for taking informed decisions about risk at a project, programme and strategic level to ensure that key risks are identified and assessed and that action is taken to address them.
