1. Prince2 1. What does Prince2 stand for: PRojects IN Controlled Environments How many processes are there? How many separate sub-processes are there?

2. Planning (PL) Initiating a Project (IP) Directing a Project (DP) Controlling a Stage (CS) Managing Product Delivery (MP) Closing a Project (CP) Drag the processes into the correct order

3.  identify and analyse products.  Identify the activities required to create these products  estimate the effort required for each & schedule activities into a plan.  Analyse risks  Finally, this process suggests how the format of plans can be agreed and ensures that plans are completed to such a format. This process builds on the work of the Start Up (SU) activity  Project Brief is turned into a business case.  Agree how to: o ensure quality on the project o the overall approach to controlling the project o Create Project files & an overall plan for the project. o Create a plan for the next stage of the project. The result given to the Project Board to authorise the project itself. These sub-processes dictate how the Project Board should control the overall project. The Project Board can:  authorise an initiation stage  authorise a project.  Authorise stage plans and replacement of existing stage plans (from slippage or unforeseen circumstances)  give ad hoc direction to a project and the way in which a project should be closed down. This process consists of three sub-processes and these cover the way in which a work package should be:  accepted  executed and  delivered. projects should be broken down into stages and these sub-processes dictate how each individual stage should be controlled.  Specifies: o the way in which work packages are authorised and received. o the way in which progress should be monitored and how the highlights of the progress should be reported to the Project Board. o A means for capturing and assessing project issues o the way in which corrective action should be taken. o the method by which certain project issues should be escalated to the Project Board. This stage dictates what should be done towards the end of a stage.  the next stage should be planned  the overall project plan, risk log and business case amended as necessary.  what should be done for a stage that has gone outside its tolerance levels.  how the end of the stage should be reported. This covers the things that should be done at the end of a project.  The project should be formally de-commissioned (and resources freed up for allocation to other activities)  follow on actions should be identified  the project formally evaluated. Add the processes name to the process description and place in the correct order
