About Module 13: Building and Tailoring the PRINCE2 Controlling A Stage Process
The project manager is responsible for day-to-day management of the project - and this is the process that is used.
In this module there are 9 video lessons which provide you the purpose and objectives of the Controlling a Stage process, used by the Project Manager.
This process controls specialist delivery work, reports on stage progress, deals with risks and issues, and decides what to do next within the stage.
This will cover the eight activities and the various monitoring, control, and reporting aspects of the Project Managers day-to-day management with each PRINCE2 management stage. It will finish off with how to tailor this process for different project sizes, programmes and within an Agile environment.
You will learn and understand:
- The CS and MP fit
- Controlling a stage purpose
- Controlling a stage objectives
- Controlling a stage simplified
- Controlling a stage process
- Authorise a work package
- Receive completed work package
- Evaluate work package status
- Capture issues and risks
- take corrective action
- Evaluate stage status
- Report highlights
- Escalate issues and risks
- Controlling a stage RACI
- CS process tailoring
- Practices application to CS
Module Content
The PRINCE2 Project Manager is responsible for day-to-day management of the project - the controlling a stage process is used for this. By the end of this module, you will be able to explore and understand, the purpose, objectives, and context of controlling a stage. In this module and the next you will learn how the project manager and the team manager should work together during two closely aligned processes controlling a stage and managing product delivery
You will grasp how the controlling a stage process purpose is to assign work, monitor such work, handle issues, report progress to the project board, and take corrective actions to ensure that the stage remains within the tolerances set by the project board
During the processes, the project manager and team manager need to ensure that the products of each stage are delivered at the right time and within agreed tolerances
You will learn that the purpose of the process of controlling a stage is to assign work, monitor such work, handle issues, report progress to the project board, and take corrective actions to ensure that the stage remains within the tolerances set by the project board
Attention is focused on delivery of the management stage’s products
Any movement away from the direction and products agreed at the start of the management stage is monitored to avoid uncontrolled change and loss of focus
The project management team is focused on delivery within the established tolerances
You will learn that the controlling a stage process describes the project manager’s day-to-day management of the stage; this process is used for each stage of a project, and that the activities of managing a stage boundary process will occur towards each stage end, apart from the final stage (or in exception situations).
You will learn the inputs and outputs of each activity in the controlling a stage process focussed on the authorize a work package and receive completed work pack activities. You will deep dive into the recommended actions and responsibilities for the project manager role.
In this lesson you will learn the controlling a stage process inputs and outputs of the evaluate work package status, capture issues and risks, and take corrective action activities, as well as the recommended actions and responsibilities for the project manager for each work package in progress.
In this lesson you will learn the controlling a stage process inputs and outputs of the evaluate stage status, report highlights, and escalate issues and risks activities, as well as the recommended actions and responsibilities for the project manager for each work package in progress.
Continuing on from the previous lesson, you will learn the controlling a stage process inputs and outputs of report highlights, and escalate issues and risks activities, as well as the recommended actions and responsibilities for the project manager for each work package in progress.
In this lesson, you will learn how the RACI chart is applied to the controlling a stage process, and how tailoring is applied to the process. You will grasp why work package descriptions are fundamentally important to this process, as they relate to PRINCE2’s principle to focus on products
You will grasp how the project manager is responsible for the creation of all new management products (including creating work package descriptions) in this process but may delegate tasks to others while retaining responsibility, since the project manager may not have the requisite skills to define specialist products or method statements in the work package description
In this lesson, you will learn how the seven PRINCE2 practices (business case, organizing, plans, quality, risks, issues and progress practices) are applied to the controlling a stage process. You will also grasp how the various documents, registers and management approaches are used.
