What is the purpose of the 'progress' practice?

The Progress practice in PRINCE2 Agile is focused on providing a forecast of the project's viability by

monitoring actual progress against plans and predicting future performance. It ensures that decisions

can be made based on current status and trends, enabling timely interventions if necessary.

This practice involves collecting progress data, reviewing milestones, updating forecasts, and

communicating status to stakeholders. Forecasting viability includes assessing whether the project

remains aligned with business justification and expected benefits.

While opportunities and threats are part of risk management (B), user needs belong to requirements

management (C), and accountability is a broader governance concern (D), progress specifically deals

with tracking and forecasting delivery status.

The practice combines traditional PRINCE2 stage controls with agile iterative reviews, providing an

integrated view of progress.
