The PRINCE2 practices represent the essential aspects of project management that must be applied consistently from start to finish in every project. These practices cover key areas such as managing risks, issues, quality, plans, progress, and change. They provide structured guidance and tools to ensure the project remains viable, controlled, and aligned with business objectives.
While processes define the stages and flow of activities, and the people element refers to roles and skills, practices are the ongoing activities and controls embedded throughout the project lifecycle. The project context shapes how practices and processes are tailored but does not itself define the consistent elements.
This consistent application of practices supports governance, transparency, and control, critical for successful project outcomes.
