PRINCE for managers

Managers using PRINCE are able to...

• Establish terms of reference as a pre-requisite to the start of a project
• Use a defined structure for delegation, authority and communication
• Divide the project into manageable stages for more accurate planning
• Ensure resource commitment from management is part of any approval to proceed
• Provide regular but brief management reports
• Keep meetings with management and stakeholders to a minimum but at the vital points in the project.

Those who will be directly involved with using the results of a project are able to...

• Participate in all the decision-making on a project
• If desired, be fully involved in day-to-day progress
• Provide quality checks throughout the project and ensure their requirements are being adequately satisfied.

For senior management PRINCE uses the 'management by exception' concept. They are kept fully informed of the project status without having to attend regular, time-consuming meetings.
