- Management by Exception: The project board comes together only when strictly necessary.

Prince2 Product flow diagram in vsd format (Microsoft Visio)
Chapter 22 of the English OGC manual ‘Managing Successful Projects with Prince2′ explains the product-based planning technique. It is used in the sub-process Defining and Analysing Products (PL-2) of the Planning process.
Within the product-based planning technique four products are created:
- Product description of the final product
- Product breakdown structure
- Product descriptions of each product
- Product flow diagram
I created Microsoft Visio templates for the Product breakdown structure and the Product flow diagram. Feel free to use them, and leave a comment as appreciation. Click here to download Prince2 Product flow diagram in vsd format.
If you think things can be improved or if you have templates you would like to add then send me a message. All templates can be found here: http://prince2.healthcheck-online.com/my-prince2-tools-and-downloads/
