Government guidance in practice: How PRINCE2® best practices support effective project delivery

The Teal Book, Orange Book, Green Book and Government Functional Standard GovS 002 provide essential direction on how projects should be governed, assessed and delivered. 

However, applying their requirements and guidance consistently and proportionately across projects, programmes and portfolios can be complex for delivery teams.

So how can delivery teams use established best practices to apply this direction with greater clarity and consistency?

Join our speakers, Ian Clarkson (PeopleCert) and Mike Saville (ILX Group) to hear them answer this question and more.

What will this webinar cover?

Register today to hear how the PRINCE2 portfolio of globally recognised best practices can help delivery teams establish the roles, governance and delivery practices needed to work in line with government guidance and standards.

We will examine:

• How P3M3 can help organisations assess their project, programme and portfolio management capability, identify gaps and prioritise areas for improvement
• How PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile Version 2 can support alignment with GovS 002 across predictive, iterative and hybrid delivery
• How PRINCE2 Portfolio Management and PMO can support portfolio sequencing, dependency management, assurance alignment and strategic priorities across complex, multi-programme environments
• How PRINCE2 risk practices can support risk-informed governance and decision-making in line with Orange Book principles
• How Benefits Management and Business Case governance can be embedded practically, supporting the Green Book’s investment appraisal principles throughout the delivery lifecycle
• How clear governance roles and active sponsorship can strengthen leadership, decision-making and accountability

We will also use practical examples from digital transformation, service redesign and complex change initiatives to show how businesses have used relevant PRINCE2 best practices to clarify decision-making, define roles and accountability and keep delivery focused on intended benefits and outcomes. 

Each example will examine a specific delivery challenge and show how a targeted approach supported the consistent application of the relevant government requirements and guidance.
