Princes2 stands for project in controlled environment. This
is a method of project management. It’s one of the methods with businesses use
to make their tasks easier and quicker to finish. Prince2 was published in
1996. This is used widely by UK government and is known in the private sector
worldwide. It divides the project into manageable and controllable stages. Princes2
has eight processes which are the following:
- Starting up a project
- Preparation
- Initialling a project
- Directing project
- Controlling a stage

Company specific methodology is when a company usually takes
the standard methodology and changes some of the aspects of them to suite their
preferences. The alteration made varies from companies for example
organisations which have outsources there network won’t need the methodology
for network projects.
The difference between company specific methodology and
Prince2 is that price2 follows a strict law and has eight processing stages
however company specific methodology does not and the company makes changes to
the methodology to suite there standards. Prince2 was designed as a UK
government standard. Company specific methodology is a more flexible than
Prince2.
