This process is where the Prince2 project manager (PM)Â does his day job. Essentially, three major groups of tasks need to be carried out:
- those where the PM authorises the work to be done either by internal staff or external subcontractors, assesses the progress of this work, and accepts completed work back via a formal work package link to the Managing Product Delivery process.
- those where the PM reviews the status of the current stage, takes corrective action where necessary, and reports status in highlight reports to the Project Board,
- those where the PM captures, examines, deals with and if necessary escalates project issues to the Project Board.
This process won't happen until the project board authorises a stage following initiation of the project or following the Managing Stage Boundaries process.
