Progress controls ensure that for each level of the project management team the next level of management can:
- Monitor progress
- Compare level of achievement with plan
- Review plans and options against future situations
- Detect problems and identify risks
- Initiate corrective action
- Authorize further work.
PRINCE2 provides progress control through:
- Delegating authority from one level of management to the level below it
- Dividing the project into management stages and authorizing the project one stage at a time.
- Time-driven and event-driven progress-reporting and reviews
- Raising exceptions.
The project's controls should be documented in the Project Initiation Document
The PRINCE2 Progress Theme is one of the seven PRINCE2 Themes
