manage by exception

A technique by which variances from plan that exceed a pre-set control limit are escalated for action – for example, where spends exceed budget by 10%.

minimum viable product (MVP)

In a PRINCE2 Agile context the term MVP broadly aligns with the Lean Start-up view that it is a 'version of the final product which allows the maximum amount of validated learning with the least effort'. This should not be confused with the viability of the project as a whole. Typically, an MVP would be delivered as early as possible during the project. It is important to note that an MVP is about learning and may not go into operational use; it may be in the form of a simple experiment or prototype.

MoSCoW

This technique used to categorize items such as requirements or tasks into one of the four following levels of how they relate to a deadline :

Must have
Should have
Could have
Won't have for now
