ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses organization on Projects In Controlled Environments (PRINCE2) for beginners. A project needs a different organization structure from line management. It needs to be more flexible and is likely to require a broad base of skills for a comparatively short period of time. The PRINCE2 organization for any project is based on a customer/supplier relationship, which philosophy works for most projects. For each project a company appoint a project board to act on their behalf within certain constraints. The chapter address these constraints in the progress theme. The project board members do not work full-time on the project; therefore, they place a great deal of reliance on the project manager. Although they receive regular reports from the project manager, they may want a more independent view of progress. The project board also decides to delegate some of their responsibilities to one or more separate project assurance roles according to the size, complexity and risk of the project.
