PRINCE2 (an acronym for PRojects IN Controlled Environments, version 2) is a project management methodology. The methodology encompasses quality management, control and organization of a project with consistency and review to align with the objectives. PRINCE2 is a certification program for practitioners in the methodology who are accredited, qualified through training. PRINCE2 emphasis is on dividing the project into manageable and controllable stages. Prince 2 is owned by UK Government and Axelos made Joint Venture with 49% and 51% stake. ==History== PRINCE2 derives from an earlier method called PROMPT II (Project Resource Organisation Management Planning Techniques.) In 1989 the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) adopted a version of PROMPT II as a UK Government standard for information systems (IT) project management. They gave it the name 'PRINCE', which originally stood for 'PR(OMPT II )IN( the )C(CTA )E(nvironment). PRINCE was renamed in a Civil service competition as an acronym for "PRojects IN Controlled Environments". However, it soon became regularly applied outside the purely IT environment, both in UK government and in the private sector around the world.〔(OGC - PRINCE2 - News )〕 PRINCE2 was released in 1996 as a generic project management method. PRINCE2 has become increasingly popular and is now a ''de facto'' standard for project management in many UK government departments and across the United Nations system.〔(Official PRINCE2 website )〕 In the 2009 revision, the acronym was changed to mean 'Projects IN a Controlled Environment'. In July 2013, ownership of the rights to PRINCE2 was transferred from HM Cabinet Office to AXELOS Ltd, a joint venture between the Cabinet Office and Capita plc. Since 2006, the method has been revised. It launched as "PRINCE2:2009 Refresh" in 2009. The name "PRINCE2" (instead of "PRINCE3" or similar) remains to indicate that the method remains faithful to its principles. Nevertheless, it is a fundamental revision of the method from 1996 to adapt it to the changed business environment, to make the method simpler and lighter, to address current weaknesses or misunderstandings, and to better integrate it with other AXELOS Global Best Practice methods (ITIL, P3O, P3M3, MSP, M_o_R etc.). PRINCE2 is part of a set of Best Practice products and is closely aligned with a sister product for the management of programmes # 'Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 - 2009 Edition', # 'Managing Successful Programmes' 1999, fourth edition in 2011. Both the Foundation and Practitioner Examinations are based on the 2009 revision 'Managing Successful Projects' manual 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PRINCE2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
