Blog Prince2 v7 FAQ-1

We live in a fast-paced, dynamic, ever-changing world and by extension organisations’ priorities have changed too, therefore how projects are managed and run has also changed. The 7th Edition of PRINCE2®, the world's leading project management methodology is coming - here's our FAQ on what you need to know. 

 

Why are these changes happening?

Ever since it was first created back in 1996, PRINCE2® has become the most widely used methodology for the managing and running of projects globally, enabling organisations to deliver change successfully within time, cost and quality requirements. Providing structure & control mechanisms addresses factors that can threaten these targets being achieved.

Over the years, the methodology has gone through numerous updates to respond to this. The current 6th edition was launched in July 2017. As the business world & the project industry changes, the guidance provided by PRINCE2® needs to adapt as well hence the launch of PRINCE2® 7th edition this autumn.
