Define Prince2 Properties for a Project

After creating a PRINCE2 project, you must define the PRINCE2-specific properties such as the project stages, the board members, and senior users for that project. You require PRINCE2 Project Manager or PRINCE2 Administrator access rights to define PRINCE2 project properties.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the PRINCE2 project.

   The properties page appears.

2. Open the Properties menu, and click PRINCE2^TM.

   The project properties page appears.

3. Define the following PRINCE2 fields:

   PRINCE2 Stage

   Defines the PRINCE2 stage that currently applies to the project. See the OGC PRINCE2 reference workbook for descriptions. Select one of the following stages from the drop-down:

   • Starting Up a Project (SU)
   • Initiating a Project (IP)
   • Controlling a Stage (CS)
   • Managing Stage Boundaries (SB)
   • Closing a Project (CP)

   Project Board Members

   Identifies the Project Board members who have the authority to review, reject, or approve a document, report, or plan submitted as part of the PRINCE2 process. Click the Browse icon to select project board members. To remove a resource, select the Delete icon.

   Senior Executives/Senior Users

   Identifies the senior executives and senior users for this project. Select the Browse icon to select senior executive resources for this specific project. To remove a resource, select the Delete icon. As a default, the processes are not configured with action items assigned to these senior executives or senior users. However, you can customize your PRINCE2 implementation to do so.
