Tailoring

Deliberate adaptation of the approach, governance, and processes to suit the project's context.

Definition

No single method fits every project, so teams select and adjust life cycle, processes, artifacts, and engagement practices based on factors such as size, criticality, regulation, and team experience. PRINCE2 also requires tailoring as one of its principles.

Example

A small internal project skips formal earned value reporting but keeps a lightweight risk log.

Exam tip

PMBOK and PRINCE2 both expect tailoring; 'follow every process regardless' is usually a wrong answer.
