Tailoring PRINCE2 to the project environment
Project scale

PRINCE2® can be used regardless of the scale of the project.
A project’s scale is relative to the size and experience of the organization hosting the project - e.g. a £10 million project could be a simple project to one organization or a daunting project to another.
Scale is related not just to the size of the project (often measured in terms of time, money and people) but also to the context of the project’s complexity, risk and importance.
Organizations should consider calibrating the scale of their projects.
The diagram illustrates a simple approach to categorizing projects and provides some suggestions about how PRINCE2 could be tailored.
The section covering ‘Simple project’ provides guidance on tailoring PRINCE2 for a simple project.
