PRINCE2’s requirements for quality
To be following PRINCE2, a project must, as a minimum:
● define its quality management approach. This approach must minimally cover:
– the project’s approach to quality control
– the project’s approach to project assurance
– how the management of quality is communicated throughout the project lifecycle
– the roles and responsibilities for quality management (PRINCE2’s defined roles and responsibilities principle)
● specify explicit quality criteria for products in their product descriptions (PRINCE2’s focus on products principle)
● maintain records to provide evidence that the planned quality activities have been carried out, and
summarize those activities that are planned or have taken place in some form of quality register
● specify the customer’s quality expectations and prioritized acceptance criteria for the project in the project
product description (see Appendix A, section A.21)
● use lessons to inform quality planning, the definition of quality expectations and quality criteria (PRINCE2’s
learn from experience principle).
