The characteristics of a project apply whether the organization is in the public sector or private sector.
The main difference will be the content and nature of the Business Case.
However, no tailoring is required as PRINCE2® does not stipulate what makes a Business Case viable, desirable or achievable.
These considerations will change from public sector to private sector but the need for a Business Case, and how it is used by the project, will not.
However, within the UK public sector there are two considerations that may require PRINCE2 to be tailored:
Whether the project requires an SRO (see the section covering ‘Senior Responsible Owner’)
Whether the project is subject to OGC Gateway™ Review (see the section covering ‘OGC Gateway™ Review’).
PRINCE2® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce in the United Kingdom and other countries.
OGC Gateway™ is a Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce.
