During the Project Management show in Paris, we saw a big shift in interest for the method.
We have been present at the ‘Rencontres du Management de Projet’ now for the 4th time and this is the first year people came to us asking about and requesting information about PRINCE2®.
The other years we had to explain what the method was, and this year people knew.
We feel that our efforts are starting to pay off and that we are now truely in the first phase of development of the method in the french marketplace.
We will keep you informed of progress.

Easter is very early this year and with it came snow, and tons of it.
As most of you in Europe, our offices are completely covered with snow.
anyway, it doesn’t reduce our spirit which we keep high to work harder to help the development of PRINCE2 in France.
see you soon at the RMP 2008 show in Paris (CNIT La Défense).
Happy Easter to all,

It is good practice to control the quality of what is produced during a project.
In PRINCE2 this is done in MP2 once the product has been created, manufactured or otherwise assembled.
In other circumstances, these quality checks are often called TAT or Technical Acceptance Test. In reality, PRINCE2 refers to those as product approvals (this can be applied to both management and specialist products).
The method of control for the final product will depend of the environment and will be defined in the Project Quality Plan (IP1) and confirmed for each simple product in the Product Description (in PL2). This Product Description is then added to the Work Package and agreed between the Project Manager and the Team Manager (if there is one) or the Team Member who will do the work (this happens in CS1-MP1).
Once products have been approved, they still need to be accepted by the Project Board.
This happens at the end of each stage during the End Stage Assessment (in DP3) for each product created during the previous stage, and at the end of the project for the final product (in DP5).
These are often referred to as UAT or Users Acceptance Tests.
