Authorising a Project with PRINCE2

Written by Andy Trainer – Mon 04 Feb 2013

Within the Directing a Project (DP) stage of PRINCE2®, authorising a project is a particularly important process.

Without it, the next stage plan cannot be approved which means that the project cannot proceed.

In this post we'll take a look in more detail at why it is a necessary process, who is responsible for each aspect and how it should be carried out.

If you'd like to find out more about PRINCE2 processes like authorising a project, try our PRINCE2 Courses.

By using this process it means that the project board can make sure that there is:

An acceptable Business Case in place (read 'What is a Business Case?' for more details)
The goals and methods of the project match that of the corporate strategy
An acceptable set of tolerances (and scope) has been set
Risks are accepted and outlined fully
The right controls have been set
