PRINCE2 2009 - Tailoring PRINCE2 part 25


Tailoring PRINCE2 to the project environment

Commercial customer/supplier environment

PRINCE2® is based on a customer/supplier environment.
It assumes that there will be a customer who will specify the desired result and probably pay for the project, and a supplier who will provide the resources and skills to deliver that result.

If the relationship between the customer and the supplier(s) is a commercial one, then additional considerations apply.
The main consideration is to recognize that there are at least two sets of:

  • Reasons for undertaking the project
  • Management systems (including project management methods)
  • Governance structures (possibly requiring disclosure of different sorts of project data at different points in the project’s life)
  • Corporate cultures (e.g. formality, risk taking etc.)

PRINCE2® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce in the United Kingdom and other countries.
