PRINCE2 is a method for managing projects that provides structure and guidelines. It can be used for any project regardless of size or environment. PRINCE2 defines roles, processes, and templates and focuses on dividing work into manageable components called management stages and products. The method is customizable and aims to deliver projects on time and to budget while ensuring quality and value.
