PRINCE2 7 Edition

PRINCE2 was first launched in 1996 and has had six editions (before the current release). The latest update was released in 2017 and is called PRINCE2 6th edition. The latest edition of PRINCE2, PRINCE2 7th Edition, seeks to address a number of changes that have occurred in the world and within the discipline of project management since then.
PRINCE2 stands for “Projects IN Controlled Environments” and is a project management methodology. It was developed in the UK and is widely recognized and used globally. PRINCE2 provides a structured approach to managing projects and covers the entire project lifecycle from start to finish.
The methodology focuses on dividing the project into manageable phases and processes to ensure effective management and control.

There are different levels of PRINCE2 certifications, including Foundation, Practitioner, Agile Foundation and Agile Practitioner.

What's the difference between the 6th and 7th edition of PRINCE2®?

In the dynamic world of project management, where adaptability and responsiveness are essential, the PRINCE2 methodology has long stood as a beacon of structured excellence. The transition from the 6th to the 7th edition marks a critical shift that requires an in-depth examination of the changes introduced and their impact on practice.

What hasn't changed in PRINCE2 7th edition?

The essence of what a project is remains the same – it’s temporary, it’s product-centric and there should always be an ongoing business justification. The overall structure of PRINCE2 is clearly recognizable, as the new version has principles, practices (what were previously called themes) and a series of processes that make up the lifecycle of a project in the same way that the previous version did. However, within and alongside these principles, practices and processes, a number of changes, additions and deletions have been made. This document aims to explain what has changed. Diagrams have been updated and four project scenarios have been added to illustrate how PRINCE2 can be used in practice for different types of projects.

What's new in PRINCE2 7th edition?

Integration of people: People are central to successful projects and now they are integrated into the PRINCE2 methodology.
Project Performance: Sustainability has been added as the seventh aspect of project performance to reflect modern organizational needs.
Digital and Data: To meet the evolving needs of project management professionals, the addition of a digital and data management approach.
