Introductiontop

This Volume of The Guidepost describes accepted good practice for the management of Bids and Projects. It has three Core Processes: Manage a Bid, Manage Projects and Support Work. The detail of these Core Processes is based on the principles of PRINCE2TM, a Project Management method which is in widespread use around the world.


PRINCE2TM itself only addresses the management of Projects. However most Projects have their origins in a Proposal or a Bid, and so they may (or should?) have many common Products and Sub-processes. To achieve greater consistency between the Core Processes in this Volume (Bids and Projects), the principles of PRINCE2TM have been extended to include managing Bids, while common Sub-processes (e.g. Issue - and Change - Management), have been grouped into the third Core Process - Support Work.


PRINCE2TM was developed for the government of the United Kingdom, which owns the rights to it. Information about PRINCE2TM may be found at this website.
