What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured project management methodology used and recognised across the world. It teaches the fundamental skills required to be a successful project manager.

The history of PRINCE2

First developed in 1996, PRINCE2 has undergone multiple updates over the years. With each evolution the methodology has improved and become more aligned with the modern project management industry.

Recent updates mean the PRINCE2 portfolio now expands beyond just project management and agile to encompass programme management, portfolio management, and more.
