Considerations for Applying PRINCE2 Themes

Following points should be considered while applying themes in a PRINCE2 project:

All seven themes must be applied in a project.

They should be tailored according to the scale, uncertainty and complexity of the project
concerned.

Themes can be tailored up or down.

For complex project, one can go for detailed documentation and tighter process control.

For a simple, low risk project concise bullet point presentations and informal processes may be
enough to capture all the information and conduct the project.
