PRINCE2® 2009 - Managing a Stage Boundary part 2

Objective

The objective of the Managing a Stage Boundary process is to:

  • Assure the Project Board that all products in the Stage Plan for the current stage have been completed and approved
  • Prepare the Stage Plan for the next stage
  • Review and, if necessary, update the Project Initiation Documentation (in particular the Business Case, Project Plan, project approach, strategies, project management team structure and role descriptions)
  • Provide the information needed for the Project Board to assess the continuing viability of the project – including the aggregated risk exposure
  • Record any information or lessons that can help later stages of this project and/or other projects
  • Request authorization to start the next stage.

For exceptions, the objectives of the Managing a Stage Boundary process are to:

  • Prepare an Exception Plan as directed by the Project Board
  • Seek approval to replace the Project Plan or Stage Plan for the current stage with the Exception Plan.

Managing a Stage Boundary is not used towards the end of the final stage (unless there is a need to create an Exception Plan) because the activities to review the performance of the final stage are included in the activities to review the performance of the whole project as part of the Closing a Project process.
