. History, Driving Force and Adoption of PRINCE2
PRrojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE) was originally based on PROMPT, a project management method created by Simpact Systems Ltd in 1975. PRINCE was established in 1989 by Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), which was renamed as Office of Government Commerce (OGC). Since its inception, it has superseded PROMPT. It has undergone 7 revisions since 1989. PRINCE2 was published in 1996. It was contributed to by a consortium of 150 European organizations. The newest edition of PRINCE2 was released in 2009. The driving force for the emergence of PRINCE2 was to establish a standard for IT projects in the United Kingdom (UK). It is one of the first standards that was developed with IT projects in mind. It is the de facto standard for the government agencies in the UK. It is widely recognized and used in private sectors in the UK and internationally. The concepts of PRINCE2 can also be applied to non-IT projects
