5.5 The project environment

PRINCE2 can be used on projects irrespective of project scale, complexity, geography, culture etc. PRINCE2 can also be used whether the project is part of a programme or being managed as a stand-alone initiative. This reflects the principle that PRINCE2 must be tailored to suit the particular project context.

PRINCE2 Agile is an example of such tailoring designed to suit a context when a project is taking place in an agile environment.
