THE PRINCE2 STAGES

The initial phase of PRINCE2 consists of identifying the key organisational goals. Doing an in-depth analysis  brings to light the project justification. This initial stage is authorised by the Project board. This is subsequently  followed by controlled phases  that the project is divided into. This is further succeeded by project progress and identification of grey areas. The last stage comes to closure with the final project evaluation.

PRINCE2 PROJECT SCALABILITY

The PRINCE2 divides the project into easily manageable stages this is coupled  with well defined roles and responsibilities of the employees.
