The Method, Projects and Performance
The five integrated elements, project and project-management definitions, project characteristics and the seven aspects of performance.
How to prepare for PRINCE2 Version 7
Build the project and principle foundations first, integrate people throughout the method, then connect each practice with the seven-process lifecycle and scenario tailoring.
Core concepts
Concept 1
PRINCE2 integrates principles, people, practices and processes within the project's context.
Exam cue: Separate the temporary project organization from the permanent business organization.
Concept 2
A project is a temporary organization created to deliver one or more business products according to an agreed business case.
Exam cue: Name the affected performance aspect before selecting a control response.
Concept 3
Project management plans, delegates, monitors and controls the work and motivates those involved to achieve objectives within performance targets.
Concept 4
The performance aspects are benefits, costs, time, quality, scope, sustainability and risk.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Treating PRINCE2 as a process-only lifecycle.
Guardrail: Do not choose a process or role by keyword alone; confirm context, authority, product and decision purpose.
Omitting sustainability from Version 7 performance management.
Guardrail: Use current Version 7 terminology and scope; do not import superseded theme names or earlier pass marks.
