•    assign an executive and a project manager
•    set up and assigning a project management team
•    prepare a project succinct
•    define the project approach
•    discuss the Lesson Logs of earlier projects
•    plan the next level i.e., initiation

Initiating a project – Next level after start up process where an overall plan and the next stage for the project is created then the project presented to the project board for authorization. The key roles in this stage are to:
•    plan quality
•    plan a project
•    refine the business case and risks
•    set up project controls
•    start project files
•    accumulate a Project Initiation Document

Directing a project – This stage is for Project Board that controls the entire project and key actions include 
•    authorising initiation
•    authorising a project
•    authorising a stage or exception plan
•    giving ad hoc direction
•    confirming project closure

Controlling a stage – PRINCE2 methodology recommends to breakdown the projects into stages and the sub-processes guide how to control each individual stage as well as speak about techniques how some project issues to shoot up to the project board. The key performances in this process include to:
•    authorise work package
•    assess progress
•    capture and study project issues
•    check status of the stage
•    report emphasized points
•    take counteractive actions
•    escalate project issues
•    receive completed work package

Managing stage boundaries – This stage guides what should be done towards the end of the stage and how to report the end of the stage. The main activities in this stage include to:
•    plan a stage
•    update a project plan
•    update a project business case
•    update the risk register
•    report stage end
•    produce an exception plan
This review includes only project manager who would be capable to present the team work to the project board.

Managing product delivery - This stage talks about the point controlling the relation between the Project Manager and the Team Managers by giving instructions to accept, execute, and deliver project work. The key activities are:
•    agree to a work package
•    implement a work package
•    deliver a work package

Closing a project – This covers the points that should be applied at the end of a project and the project is formally assessed and the key actions include:
•    decommissioning a project
