Themes

Quality is achieved by specifying objective quality criteria and acceptable tolerances in the Project Product Description so that products can be formally measured. Relying on subjective manager opinions or customer guesses lacks the structured framework required to ensure products are fit for purpose.

PRINCE2 defines seven themes, which are the continuous aspects of project management that must be addressed throughout the project life cycle. Options suggesting five or six themes are incorrect because they fail to account for all seven mandatory areas, such as Risk, Quality, and Progress.
