Agreeing the PRINCE2 7 PID management approaches
The activities to establish the approaches for the project may be executed in parallel, but it is
recommended that the communication management approach is completed last, as it will need to
include the communications required by the other approaches.
The management approaches are derived from business strategies, standards, or practices that the
project needs to comply with, and the users’ quality and sustainability expectations captured in the
project product description.
When the approaches have been defined, it is possible to establish the project controls and create the project plan.
The nine different management approaches are:
- change management approach
- communication management approach
- sustainability management approach
- benefits management approach
- commercial management approach
- quality management approach
- risk management approach
- issue management approach
- digital and data management approach
Recommended actions for the project manager
- review how PRINCE2 will be tailored and its implications for the management approaches.
- review the project brief to understand whether any business strategies, standards, or practices relating to management approaches need to be applied during the project (including any that are contractual requirements).
- seek lessons related to the management approaches from similar previous projects, business, and external organizations. (Some of these may already have been captured in the project log.)
- review the project log for any issues and risks related to the management approaches.
- update the project log if any new risks or issues are identified (or existing ones have changed).
- consult with project assurance to check that the proposed management approaches meet the needs of the project board or business.
- seek the project board’s approval for the management approaches (although the project board may prefer to review them later as part of the project initiation documentation).
