Walk into any project office today, and you will hear two conversations running in parallel. One is familiar, grounded in governance and the tidy architecture of PRINCE2. The other is new, a buzz about smart tools, generative assistants, and small automations that quietly shave hours from the week. The trick is not to choose between them. It is to make them work together, so the method keeps its structure while AI and automation handle the repetitive, the noisy, and sometimes the boring. That balance is quite achievable. In fact, PRINCE2 almost invites it.
