What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is a de facto standard developed and used extensively by the UK government and it is widely recognized and used in the private sector, both in the UK and internationally. 

PRINCE2 is a flexible method that guides you through the essentials for running a successful project regardless of project type or scale. PRINCE2 can be tailored to meet your organization or industry specific requirement.

AXELOS has also developed PRINCE2 Agile, which combines the proven best practice of PRINCE2 with agile concepts, enabling seamless project and product delivery.
