Project steering process

Project steering PRINCE2 process ( other name - directing a project) is needed to send the message - what are the responsabilities of Project steering comittee during project lifecycle. Obviuosly Project steering comittee will function unefficiently without chairman - Project owner/executive

Project owner/executive can execute all responsibilities alone of Project steering comittee if so decided, but this is not recommended.

PRINCE2 processes activities can be tailored for each project if needed as every project is unique. Project manager is responsible to propose tailoring of the project management therefore this role has to be competent in project management practices.
