PRINCE (or rather PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a project management methodology covering the organisation, management and control of projects.  PRINCE was first developed by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) now part of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) in 1989 as a UK Government standard for IT project management.

Since its introduction, PRINCE has become widely used in both the public and private sectors and is now the UK's de facto standard for project management.  Although PRINCE was originally developed for the needs of IT projects, the method has also been used on many non-IT projects. 

The latest version of the methodology, PRINCE2, is designed to incorporate the requirements of existing users and to enhance the methodology towards a generic, best practice approach for the management of all types of projects.

Each member of the Indigo 4 project management team is trained to at least foundation level, with two project managers trained to the prestigious 'practitioner' level.
