Techopedia explains PRojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2)

PRINCE2 breaks a project into eight manageable processes, as follows:
  • Starting Up (SU) a Project
  • Directing a Project (DP)
  • Initiating a Project (IP)
  • Controlling a Stage (CS)
  • Managing Product Delivery (MP)
  • Managing Stage Boundaries (SB)
  • Planning
  • Closing a Project (CP)
This process set includes 40 different tasks, and each process is an iterative project management approach component, which means that each process complements subsequent processes. However, not all PRINCE2 implementation processes are used in software development or IT project management.
