The PRINCE2 approach
Progress control involves measuring actual progress against the performance targets of time, cost, quality, scope, benefits and risk, and then using this information to make decisions (such as whether to approve a stage or Work Package, whether to escalate deviations, whether to prematurely close the project etc.) and to take actions as required.
PRINCE2® provides progress control through:
- Delegating authority from one level of management to the level below it
- Dividing the project into management stages and authorizing the project one stage at a time
- Time-driven and event-driven progress-reporting and reviews
- Raising exceptions
The project’s controls should be documented in the Project Initiation Documentation.
