PRINCE2 is a structured, process-based method for project management  that emphasises dividing projects into manageable stages. PRINCE2 is adopted world-wide, as it can be tailored to meet your organisation or industry-specific requirement, regardless of type or scale. PRINCE2 has achieved this status by: encouraging the use of common terminology, aligning with the business by identifying and understanding the value chain, and focusing on activities that add value.

Combining the flexibility of Agile Shift with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2, PRINCE 2 Agile provides structure and controls when working with agile concepts, methods and techniques. Originally developed in response to demand from the user communities,  PRINCE2 agile helps practitioners understand control requirements clearly and comprehensively. Agile methods allow organisations to realise the benefits of products and potentially an earlier return on investment while products are being developed and improved across PRINCE2 and Agile disciplines.

ITIL is an approach to IT Service Management (ITSM) providing a formidable set of best practice.

MoP defines portfolio management as: “A coordinated collection of strategic processes and decisions that together enable the most effective balance of organisational change and business as usual”.

A compound of development and operations, Devops is an IT mindset that encourages users to communicate, collaborate, integrate and automate amongst themselves.

This can have a positive impact even before a program’s conclusion, while also providing excellent wisdom for future programs.
