by  ScottSpence  Posted    (Edited  )
PRINCE2 is a project management methodology owned and maintained by the Office of Government Commerce in the UK. It summarises best practice from a variety of industries and backgrounds. PRINCE2 outlines 8 processes that are required to successfully carry out a project. These are:

* Starting up a Project (Sunny-side Up)
* Directing a Project (Dangerously Pink)
* Initiating a Project (Iced Peas)
* Controlling a Stage (Chocolate Sauce)
* Managing Stage Boundaries (Sky Blue)
* Planning (Painted Lips)
* Managing Product Delivery (Marmalade Pot)
