One of eight processes in Prince2 involving gathering information and creating an organisation. At the end the project is in a fit state to move to the Initiating a Project process.
What
A number of Prince2 sub-processes make up Starting Up A Project:-
* (SU1) - Appointing a Project Board Executive and Project Manager
* (SU2) Designing a Project Management Team
* (SU3) Appointing a Project Management Team
* (SU4) Preparing a Project Brief
* (SU5) Defining Project Approach
* (SU6) Planning an Initiation Stage
Why
Prince2 seeks with this process to establish:-
* Who will make the decisions
* The product to be delivered (in broad terms)
* The expected quality
* Why the project should be done
* Establish a risk log
* How much effort it will take to plan the project.
When
At the very start of a project. It is anticipated the length taken for this process will be short in comparison to the length of the project.
How
Management products that arising from the process are:-
* Executive and project management appointments (SU1)
* Project Management Team Design (SU2)
* Job Descriptions (SU3)
* Project Brief (SU4)
* Risk Log (SU4)
* Project Approach (SU5)
* Initiation Stage Plan(SU6)
As with a lot of frameworks the wise manager tries to steer away from ticking boxes. The process should be tailored to the project.
