Project Management
Project Methodology
The project management methodology is based on PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments).
PRINCE2 is the internationally recognised standard method for project management and offers a structured and scalable approach to IT projects.
The key features of PRINCE2 are:
- Its emphasis in dividing the project into controlled and manageable stages and phases, offering a structured, consistent and proven approach
- Its scalability and flexibility which ensures that it can be applied to various different types of IT Projects
- Its defined organisational structure (roles and responsibilities)
- Its focus on business justification
Using PRINCE2 the project is broken down into stages and phases. The project follows the “management by exception” principle whereby the Project Manager is delegated management responsibility for a stage only and seeks authority to proceed from the board prior to initiating the next stage during the end of stage assessments.
