PRINCE2 2009 - Introduction to processes part 5

The PRINCE2® journey

Subsequent delivery stages

The Project Board delegates day-to-day control to the Project Manager on a stage-by-stage basis.
The Project Manager needs to assign work to be done, ensure that the outputs of such work (products) meet relevant specifications, and gain suitable approval where appropriate.

The Project Manager also needs to ensure that progress is in line with the approved plan and that the forecasts for the project’s performance targets are within agreed tolerances.
The Project Manager ensures that a set of project records (Daily Log, Lessons Log, Issue Register, Risk Register, Quality Register and Configuration Item Records) are maintained to assist with progress control.
The Project Manager informs the Project Board of progress through regular Highlight Reports.
The activities to control each stage are covered by the Controlling a Stage process.

In the Managing Product Delivery process, the Team Manager(s) or team members execute assigned Work Packages (that will deliver one or more products) and keep the Project Manager appraised of progress via Checkpoint Reports.

Towards the end of each management stage, the Project Manager requests permission to proceed to the next stage by reporting how the stage performed, providing an update to the Business Case and planning the next management stage in detail.
The Project Manager provides the information needed by the Project Board in order for it to assess the continuing viability of the project and to make a decision to authorize the next management stage.
The activities to manage each stage boundary are covered in the Managing a Stage Boundary process.
