Agree - very impressive responses by some really good PMs. Like most of you, I have been 'indoctrinated' in the Prince2 dogma, however I can see it's not a silver bullet and things can be done equally without it. On the other hand, most banking projects are done on the hoof, with min emphasis on documentation and processes and the only criterion is whether the implementation has been successful or not. IMO you can still hold your head high even if you have PM'd a project that hasn't delivered but you have documented/highlighted the reasons why (eg lack of time/money/resources/etc) This can be done at a later date avoiding a repeat of duplicating whole stages - I have picked up several projects that could have saved half the time/money rewriting/going over most of them
- for me this is where Prince2 wins over Agile etc.
