A Product (or Work Product)

A product or work product is the result of work performed by a individuals or a team.

A product may be considered an outcome, a result, a deliverable that is created or acquired.

There are two types of Products that are created: Management Products and Specialist Products.

  • Management Products are those products necessary to plan and manage a project
  • Specialist Products are the unique products produced for a specific class of project.

Examples of PRINCE2™ 2005 Management Products are:

  • Project Quality Plan, See the Product Description A.31.
  • Project Plan, See the Product Description A.30.
  • Business Case, See the Product Description A.2.
  • Project Brief, See the Product Descirption A.26

Examples of PRINCE2™ 2009 Management Products are:

  • Project Quality Plan, See the Product Description A.22.
  • Project Plan, See the Product Description A.16.
  • Business Case, See the Product Description A.2.
  • Project Brief, See the Product Descirption A.19

Examples of Specialist Products are:

  • Software Product, A complete working product or deliverable. This may be created or acquired..
  • Software Component, A software component is a product that forms part of a software product. This may be created or acquired.
  • Software Package Rolled out, The installation, training, and effective usage of a software product is a product that defines a result or outcome.
  • Organisational Unit Established, The identification, appointment of a manager and creation of a unit plan is a product that defines a result or outcome.

Products are described in terms of the object that is created or acquired or result or outcome that is achieved. There must be a clear distinction between the activities (verbs and actions) that create the result or outcome.

Other types of products have been identified in the Product Based Planning Technique. The following are described in the PRINCE2™ Manual:

  • Final Product (2005) or the Project Product Description (2009)
