PRINCE2 Process Diagrams

We decided that PRINCE2® diagrams could do with a freshen up so we've created an easy to read, standardised set of diagrams covering the 7 PRINCE2 processes to help learn PRINCE2.

Starting with the PRINCE2 Process Model and then breaking it down into each of the 7 processes.

If you've ever searched Google for 'PRINCE2 diagrams' you will know that it's not a pretty sight, and a lot of those diagrams are either too plain or impossible to decipher.

Our set of diagrams makes the PRINCE2 processes easier to understand by complimenting your PRINCE2 pre-course work and manual when preparing for your PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam.

PRINCE2 Process Model

PRINCE2 describes the steps of project management in seven processes. Any PRINCE2 project will need to address each of the processes but the extent of the application of a process should be decided on a project by project basis.

The PRINCE2 Process Model below describes the relationship between the seven processes:

Starting Up a Project (SU) PROCESS

PRINCE2® PROCESSES – Starting Up a Project (SU)

The purpose of the Starting up a Project process is to ensure that the prerequisites for Initiating a Project are in place by answering the question: do we have a viable and worthwhile project?

This process is triggered by a mandate and is designed to establish the following:

  • There is a business justification for initiating the project (documented in an outline Business Case)
  • All the necessary authorities exist for initiating the project
  • Sufficient information is available to define and confirm the scope of the project (in the form of a Project Brief)
  • The various ways the project can be delivered are evaluated and a project approach selected
  • Individuals are appointed who will undertake the work required in project initiation and/or will take significant project management roles in the project
  • The work required for project initiation is planned (documented in a Stage Plan)
  • Time is not wasted initiating a project based on unsound assumptions regarding the project’s scope, time scales, acceptance criteria, and constraints.

Products produced during this process are as follows:

  • Role descriptions
  • Daily Log
  • Lessons Log
  • Outline Business Case
  • Project Product Description
  • Project Approach
  • Project Brief
  • Stage Plan

The PRINCE2 processes are covered in detail in our PRINCE2 Foundation training and PRINCE2 Practitioner training courses in Brighton, Sussex.
