Exam Essentials

Understand the difference between tailoring and embedding PRINCE2. The adoption of PRINCE2 across an organization is known as embedding, whereas the adaptation of PRINCE2 to suit a particular environment is known as tailoring.

Understand the relationship between a programme’s Business Case and a project’s Business Case. The project’s Business Case will be aggregated into the overall programme Business Case and is likely to be reduced in content. Know that the project’s Business Case may only comprise a list of benefits with a statement as to how the project is contributing to the overall programme Business Case.

Understand the general approach to tailoring PRINCE2. The general approach to tailoring PRINCE2 is to consider external and project factors and then use the method with a lightness of touch that provides necessary control without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy. Tailoring does not consist of omitting PRINCE2 elements but involves applying the whole method to the degree required.
