According to PRINCE2®, a project should have tolerances defined for each project objective. Tolerances specify the permissible deviations in scope, time, cost, quality, risk, and benefits that are allowed before the deviation needs to be escalated to a higher authority. This is fundamental for the 'manage by exception' principle, allowing efficient use of time and resources by project management levels.References: PRINCE2® Foundation Manual

During the 'Initiating a Project' process in PRINCE2®, the project is considered from the perspective of the project board. This process ensures that the project board has all the necessary information to commit to the project, understanding its scope, timescales, costs, risks, and overall approach before granting formal approval to proceed.References: PRINCE2® Foundation Manual

Effective communication within a project in PRINCE2® focuses on ensuring that messages are clear, consistent, and reach the right stakeholders at the right time. This involves targeting key influencers who can aid in further disseminating information throughout the project, thereby enhancing communication efficiency and effectiveness.References: = PRINCE2® 7 Foundation Training Manual and official PRINCE2® website documentation

One of the advantages of dividing the project into stages, as advocated by PRINCE2®, is that detailed plans can be prepared closer to the time events will take place. This allows planning to be based on more accurate, up-to-date information, improving the relevance and accuracy of the plans. This approach also allows for better response to changes and risks, as planning for later stages can adjust based on the outcomes and learnings from earlier stages.References: PRINCE2® Foundation Manual
