WHAT’S NEW IN 2017 VERSION? METHOD CHANGES

You will discover how the core of the PRINCE2 method, like principles, processes and themes remain unchanged, while a renewed focus on the importance of tailoring has been added: the chapter on tailoring has been, in fact, elaborated and more prominently placed at the beginning of the manual, and it contains clear indications about:

• what you can and cannot tailor
• who is responsible for tailoring and documenting
• examples of different project environments
• tailoring and embedding PRINCE2 in an organization

Furthermore, the distinction between tailoring, adopting and embedding is explained in more detail and there is guidance on how to adopt and embed PRINCE2 in an organization.
