# PRINCE2 Project Management Software and Tools - Asana

> Prince2 is a process-based methodology for managing team projects. Learn how Asana can help with Prince2 project management to keep your team on track.

PRINCE2 (or Projects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured, process-based methodology for project management. This approach focuses on organization and control throughout the lifecycle of a project.

 With Asana, you can seamlessly implement the PRINCE2 project management methodology. Asana’s features simplify workflow management from start to finish. Create custom workflows or choose from a library of [workflow templates](/templates) to streamline processes.

#### 1. Business justification

At the core of the PRINCE2 approach is business justification. This means that projects should have a clearly defined objective, a goal, a customer, tangible benefits, and a cost assessment.

#### 2. Continuous learning

With this project methodology, teams should be continuously learning. At each step of the process, lessons take place and are recorded for future projects and new employees.

#### 3. Defined roles and responsibilities

Project managers should clearly define [roles and responsibilities](/resources/roles-and-responsibilities) for their teams. That way, everyone knows who is responsible for what.

#### 4. Planning in stages

Projects are broken up into stages and at the completion of each phase. [Lessons are learned](/resources/lessons-learned) and an outcome recap should be given to guide future projects and streamline team workflows.

#### 5. Baseline requirements

Baseline metrics like deadlines, costs, risk and scope should be clearly defined at the start of a project. That way, project managers can intervene if a project phase starts to go overtime or over budget.

#### 6. Quality management

PRINCE2 focuses on product quality. Teams should have a quality analysis process in place to review projects against requirements.

#### 7. Custom approach

PRINCE2 takes into account project nuance, so project management should be adjusted on a case by case basis. The amount of oversight and planning is customized to fit the scope and team size of a project.

#### Track your project with Asana’s PRINCE2 project management tools

#### Directing a project

Keep everything in one place for seamless communication. Share status updates, reports, meeting notes, and enable stakeholders to monitor progress and provide guidance.

#### Starting a project

Create a task to request project approval and assign a copy to any stakeholders. Then, turn your plan into actionable tasks—all in one place.

#### Managing stage boundaries

Break your project into stages using Asana sections and assign tasks and due dates. Use status updates to communicate progress, learnings, and next steps with the [Project Board](/uses/kanban-boards).

#### Controlling a stage

With Asana, you can easily control the stage of a project by viewing completed and incomplete tasks at a glance. Identify blockers and easily take any corrective action.

#### Managing product delivery

Use custom fields to keep track of details like time estimates for each task or stage, project feedback, or subtasks to review tasks for every milestone.

#### Closing a project, repeat

When you’re ready to close out a project, report on evaluations, learnings, and transfer over any follow-up actions to your operational team. Then, save your project as a [custom template](/guide/team/advanced/create-use-asana-templates) to use for future projects.

#### Your PRINCE2 project management lifecycle in one place

We decided to give Asana a try. We were quickly able to eliminate the drudgery of sending update emails and reporting on progress in weekly meetings. Now, if I want to know what’s going on with a project or what the status of anything is, I just look at Asana and everything is instantly clear. Asana makes our process so much more efficient. It removes all the waste in communication.
