PRINCE2 roles

PRINCE2 provides roles needed in project management for successful project management. There are 9 roles very clearly defined from thousands of historical project aggregated expierence and even few more additional roles are high level defined that can be used and tailored. Why roles are so important to set - traditional management best practices say - if you are not able to define the roles you struggle with delegation. In addition to this you will probably expierence increased team chaos, number of team member conflict risen and some power game potentialy.
