- 14. PRINCE2 versus Bodyof Knowledge (e.g. PMI) • The differences between PRINCE2 (a method) and a BoK make them highly complementary. • PRINCE2 provides a framework of what needs to be done, by who and when. • The BoK provides a range of techniques of how those things can be done. • Tailoring PRINCE2 if the organization is aligned to any particular BoK (e.g. the Project Management Institute – PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide – PMBOK and its superstructure standards) should include: • Agreeing a single set of terms to apply. For example, in the Project Management Institute’s Body of Knowledge the Project Sponsor is equivalent to PRINCE2’s Executive • Aligning PRINCE2’s management products with any management products recommended by the BoK. For example, the Project Charter in PMBOK is equivalent to PRINCE2’s Project Brief. 14 Based on OGC PRINCE2™ material, unless otherwise stated.
