The 2017 version of PRINCE2, while keeping the essentials of the method unchanged, focuses on the principle of TAILORING, underlining how PRINCE2 should be tailored for a project’s particular circumstances. The renewed emphasis on this principle is proven by a completely new chapter focusing on “Tailoring and adopting PRINCE2”. In this chapter the authors show how PRINCE2 can and MUST be tailored to suit specific situations. To that end, they add a lot of useful tips on what can be tailored and how.
