Hi,


I understand your concerns but I think PRINCE2 does have something else to
offer - for example, it only suggests that you have a minimum of 2
'stages' these are the Initiation (Planning) stage and the 'doing' stage.
Although PRINCE2 has, as you will see, more than one 'process' these are
activities grouped into common steps or themes (who is responsible in most
cases). One of the major selling points of PRINCE2 is that it is not
ridged, but flexible, adapting it is actually encouraged!

It is owned and developed by the UK government so it is not presented in
an 'exciting' way. This makes it hard to get across the huge benefits for
both small and large companies. Even if one just takes a few pointers from
PRINCE2 it can really improve customer delivery (brashly assuming that it
might need it!).
