This publication is an accessible summary of the full guidance in a portable format suitable for quick reference or a quick read - a "ten minute guide" for the busy project board member. It is aimed at experienced senior managers and project board members who are already familiar with PRINCE2, and therefore do not require frequent reference to the full guidance.

The guide introduces the additional considerations that project boards need to take into account if the project is being run within a programme and/or portfolio managed governance structure.
