How do you remember the 7 process of PRINCE2?

When preparing for a PRINCE2 exam, it can be tricky to remember the 7 process of PRINCE2 but you can try to make up an acronym to help you. One possible acronym to help remember the PRINCE2 processes is 'SDIM CMC':

  • S: Starting up a project
  • D: Directing a project
  • I: Initiating a project
  • M: Managing a stage boundary
  • C: Controlling a stage
  • M: Managing product delivery
  • C: Closing a project

Remembering the acronym 'SDIMCMC' can help you quickly recall the seven PRINCE2 processes and use them to guide your project management practices.
