Plans to Update PRINCE2™ Guidance (April 2008)
Plans to Update PRINCE2™ Guidance
Plans are still on track to replace the existing PRINCE2™ manual in the first quarter of 2009. As well as reflecting latest project management thinking, the guidance will integrate the 2007 developments in the Office of Government Commerce's risk management guidance.
The revised manual will not change the underlying principles of PRINCE2. The key differences between the contents of the existing and the new manuals are:
| PRINCE2 AREA | 2005 | 2009 |
| Principles | None | 7 Principles |
| Themes | 8 Components | 7 Key Themes |
| Processes | 8 Processes | 7 Processes |
| Sub-processes | 45 sub-processes | Activities |
| Techniques | 3 Techniques | Cross-references to other Books of Knowledge including 'soft' aspects |
| Management Products | 36 Products | 27 Products |
| Trouble-shooting | Hints and tips | Hints and tips in Frequently Asked Question style |
