Overview
The Project Brief authorises the Project (at the end of
SU Starting up a Project).
It is not the same as the
Project Mandate.
The principle difference is that the
Project Mandate
is produced by Senior Management before PRINCE2 processes start, the
Project Brief
is produced by the Executive and by the
Project Manager
during
SU4 Preparing a Project Brief.
Therefore the
Mandate
is not a PRINCE2 management output but the
Project Brief
is.
Tips
- Do not spend too long on the Project Brief scope - that time is for the PID, the emphasis should be more on getting crucial project aims confirmed quickly.
