PRINCE2, or PRojects IN Controlled Environments, is a project management methodology. It
covers the management, control and organisation of a project.
PRINCE2™ was launched by the UK Government in 1996 and has since become the most widely
used project management method worldwide. By the beginning of 2007 there were more than
250,000 certified Project Managers who had sat and passed the PRINCE2™ practitioner exam.
PRINCE2™ is now more than a just manual. When people say “we are using PRINCE2™” they
don’t mean that they are using the manual. They mean that they direct, manage or participate on
a project which follows (some of) the processes, components and techniques embodied in the
manual. PRINCE2™ has become ‘a way’ of delivering projects.
