This publication provides a universally applicable project management method - the principles, processes and techniques that enable individuals and organisations to successfully deliver their projects within time, cost and quality constraints. Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 forms part of a pair of publications that are the result of the PRINCE2: 2009 Project to update the PRINCE2 guidance. Its companion is Directing Successful Projects with PRINCE2.

This publication has been designed to be a role specific handbook for senior managers and project board members, which describes how to oversee projects being managed using PRINCE2. The guide sets PRINCE2 in the wider context of project management (but still non-specific for industry sector) and describes or cross-references techniques which support the PRINCE2 method.

OGC (former owner of Best Management Practice) and its functions have moved into the Cabinet Office part of HM Government - www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

Material produced since the move has revised copyright and trademark statements reflecting Cabinet Office ownership.

Best Management Practice guidance that existed at the time of the move will continue to reference OGC until it is updated. Over time all Best Management Practice guidance will be updated and will then fully reflect Cabinet Office ownership and use the updated statements and references where applicable.
