Understanding PRINCE2 Quality Theme - come learn with me
02/12/23 • 54 min
In this episode, I delve deep into the PRINCE2 guidelines, focusing on Quality and different crucial topics that surround it in project management.
PRINCE2 stands for Projects In Controlled Environments. It is a project management methodology that provides a framework for managing and delivering projects in a structured way. It is recognized and used in government and corporate spaces in the UK and internationally.
PRINCE2 is divided into 7 processes; starting a project, directing the project, initiating the project, controlling the stage, managing product delivery, managing a stage boundary, and loading a project.
PRINCE2 can also be used alongside Agile methodologies
From Chapter 8 of the guide; the purpose of the quality theme is to implement the means by which the project will verify that products are fit for purpose. Underestimating this can lead to slippage, overspending, or poor quality results. The quality theme addresses the quality methods and responsibilities for the management of the project. Terms used to talk about the quality are sometimes interpreted interchangeably which can lead to misunderstandings. PRINCE2 uses specific terminology derived from the ISO 9000 Standard but aimed specifically initially at project work
Quality is the degree to which set and inherent characteristics of a product, service, process, person, organization, system or resource fulfill requirements. Quality management refers to coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.
A baseline is a reference level against which an entity is monitored and controlled. Baseline products can be changed and altered but they must get signed off before presentation to stakeholders
A daily planner with several features is available on Sarah's website which would help with reviews from time to time.

Not every autistic is Rainman!
Our guest today is Toni, a neurodiversity coach based in Northampton, Massachusetts. She spent most of her life in the social service sector working with oppressed individuals and populations including people with developmental disabilities. She realized her love for coaching and started coaching neurodivergent individuals. Neurodiversity was a term coined because many of the deficits were under neurological minorities, and the term was a way to destigmatize individuals with such deficits Autism and ADHD.
Research shows that there are specific coaching techniques that are beneficial to neurodiverse people. An example is asking the person to define two SMART goals they want to work on, and evaluate their progress every eight weeks.
Sarah observed that coming to terms with her neurodiversity made life easier as she didn't have to mask the condition anymore, which is something a lot of neurodiverse people still do. This can be so exhausting that it causes burnout.
For a new client starting with Toni, the first step would be a discovery call to determine if trust can be established, and to explain what coaching entails. Following this, they would get help with setting goals towards self-improvement to be the best version of themselves while also learning in-depth about their neurodiversity.
Neurodiverse people have many major qualities that can easily be overlooked or, in some cases, misjudged. They can be very intelligent, passionate, caring, loyal, empathetic to a point of sensory overload, and have a lot of integrity that does not give room for much diplomacy. However, they can be reluctant to get other points of view which gets them stuck.
Toni has also struggled with chronic depression, anxiety, and alcohol addictions. Based on this, she can relate to the typical challenges of neurodiverse individuals.

Understanding PRINCE2 Quality Theme - come learn with me part2
The PRINCE2 quality review is to assess the conformity of a product against quality criteria, assess product quality, and confirm that the product is ready for approval.
The role of Review teams is to ensure that the review is undertaken properly. The presenter introduces the product for review and represents the producers of the product.
Reviewers should ensure to avoid personalizing issues, operate as a team and defer to specialist areas where necessary. Also, they should not introduce trivial issues like grammatical errors at reviews; this takes off some of the pressure from people with dyslexia. Reviewers should also come well-prepared. Too much time should not be given for responses as this may invite too many comments. Generally speaking, even having too many meetings is not necessary; Shopify, for example, has taken practical steps to cancel recurring meetings deemed unnecessary. There should be a complete focus on the main product, not related products.
PRINCE2 defines a project as a temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed business case.
Resources Mentioned
● The PRINCE2 book; “Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2” by Axelos.
● The “PRINCE2 Study Guide” by David Hinde
● Shopify cancels all meeting with more than two people to free up workers’ time
● PeopleCert
