Project Support
In PRINCE2, the Project Support role is optional and is only required when the project is large or complex enough to need administrative or specialist support. The PRINCE2 manual explicitly lists Project Support as a role that may be filled, whereas the Executive, Senior User, and Project Manager are mandatory roles on every project.
