Project Management (PM) encompasses activities related to the successful accomplishment of a group of goals. According to SR 13465:2007, PM is all about planning, programming, monitoring and controlling the fulfilment of the activities in the project. In addition, PM is about managing all the resources involved or required for completing the project within established timeframe, budget, scope and quality level. PRINCE2 (“PRojects IN Controlled Environments”) is a process-based standard established in 1989 with the goal of managing a successful project with great organizational benefits. Since “excellence is not an act, but a habit” (Aristotle), PRINCE2 is based on a series of guidelines and best practices for each stage of a project. This paper presents the PRINCE2 project management approach for an e-learning Quality Assurance platform, following the recommended application of the principles while going through each stage of the process, as well as tracking the target indicators mentioned above. The platform will present content that is tailored to both beginners and professionals, as well as real-world examples based on the author's work experience.
