1. Introduction Project management can be a complex task, even for some of the simplest projects, for this
reason the use of project management frameworks to guide the project management process can be valuable, providing both structure and guidance. One of the most commonly referred to frameworks is
the PMBoK, indeed the Project Management Institute (PMI) claim that PMBoK is the defacto standard for project management with the way it is set up as a framework with numerous
subsets that lay down generally accepted good practice (PMI, 2009). This is a set of standards in a framework that has been developed over many years with many revisions (Wildman,
1986). However, this is not the only framework, even if it is a dominant framework. There are many others, some of these tend to be specialised looking at specific type
of projects, such as software projects, others are more general. A model used widely in Europe, especially in the UK is that of PRINCE, and PRINCE 2. Much of
the literature sees these models as comparable, where a project manager is making a choice for a general project management framework either of these may be chosen (Turner and Simister,
2000). However, when looking at the use of PRINCE, and PRINCE 2, the more recent version, there are both interesting similarities
as well as some significant differences. PRINCE and PRINCE 2 can be examined as a very viable alterative to PMBoK as a suitable framework. It is only by comparing the
