PRINCE2 2009® - Plans part 6

Plans defined

Stage Plans

A Stage Plan is required for each management stage.
The Stage Plan is similar to the Project Plan in content, but each element will be broken down to the level of detail required to be an adequate basis for day-to-day control by the Project Manager.

Each Stage Plan for the next management stage is produced near the end of the current management stage.

This approach allows the Stage Plan to:

  • Be produced close to the time when the planned events will take place
  • Exist for a much shorter duration than the Project Plan (thus overcoming the planning horizon issue)
  • Be produced with the knowledge of the performance of earlier management stages.

See the section covering ‘Progress’ for further guidance on partitioning a project into management stages.
