Foxford Services Ltd. also offers a project management methodology based on its own ‘micro implementation’ of PRINCE2. Foxford Services Ltd. has simplified PRINCE2 to 11 straightforward document templates. It is designed to bring the benefits of a structured approach learned over many years of large-scale product development to the smaller enterprise without over-burdening with ‘red tape’.

PRINCE, which stands for Projects in Controlled Environments, is a project management method covering the organisation, management and control of product development and deployment.

The Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (MPTA) first developed PRINCE in 1989. Now part of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), it is used as a UK Government standard for IT project management.

PRINCE2 is a process-based approach for project management providing an easily tailored, and scaleable method for the management of all types of projects. Each process is defined with its key inputs and outputs together with the specific objectives to be achieved and activities to be carried out.

A PRINCE2 project is driven by the project's business case which describes the organisation's justification, commitment and rationale for the deliverables or outcome. The business case is regularly reviewed during the project to ensure the business objectives, which often change during the lifecycle of the project, are still being met.
