PRINCE2 roles and responsibilities
Key takeaways
PRINCE2 defines clear accountability while allowing roles to be tailored to suit the project context.
- The project board is accountable for success, authorises stages, and makes decisions on escalations within agreed tolerances.
- The executive owns the business case, secures funding, and balances business, user, and supplier interests to protect return on investment.
- Senior user and senior supplier ensure user needs and technical integrity are met, and commit the right resources at the right time.
- The project manager runs day-to-day delivery within tolerances, maintains controls and logs, and manages information flow across levels.
- Project assurance must remain independent from the project manager to provide credible oversight of risk, quality, scope, and communications.
Introduction
PRINCE2 describes seven distinct project management team roles, each assigned a specific set of duties. It is anticipated that practitioners will customize these responsibilities to align with the specific requirements of their projects and organization. Tailoring often involves the sharing of a role among multiple individuals or the amalgamation of several roles.
Collectively, all the project management team roles bear responsibility for applying the PRINCE2 principles throughout the practices and processes of a PRINCE2 project.
