Many project managers have raised objections to using PRINCE2 because of the widely held belief that it's too complicated, with too many documents and too much administrative overhead for their 'lean, mean and always successful' projects to use.
Well, if you were to implement every word in the PRINCE2 manual, that's probably what you would get. That's why the manual devotes a whole chapter to explaining why the method should be (note: should be) tailored to fit the project environment. PRINCE2 can and does work successfully in many different industries, many different sized projects, in many different countries all over the world. The places where it doesn't work so well is where no consideration is given to how to tune it up for the specific project environment.
Tailoring is therefore fundamental to the method.
