PRINCE2 and PMBOK complement each other – there’s no conflict as such between the two. So you might not need to select one over the other.

The PMBOK is a framework, the sum of knowledge in project management, where PRINCE2 is a methodology, that describe, step by step, how to run a project.

PMBOK defines what a project manager should know, where PRINCE2 defines what a project manager should do and in which order.

The fact that PMBOK is NOT a methodology is explicitly defined on Page 4 where it is stated: “this standard is neither complete nor all-inclusive. This standard is a guide rather than a methodology.”

PRINCE2 is strong in areas such as the business case and how to governance a project in the public sector and in a product based approach to planning.


However, there are some areas where PRINCE2 does not try to cover. Prince 2 refers to tools and techniques but does not explain them in any details. On the other hand PMBOK goes into details and explain the tools in more details.

A number of Project management issues are not covered by Prince2 e.g. HR issues, Earned Value, estimating and procurement. These Knowledge Areas are covered by the PMBOK and explained in details.
