Sorry what i meant was i only searched those books. I went to them as the ones i would expect to describe the role delineations and interactions between PRINCE2 and ITIL. OK so let's look at the other two:

I have listed what I think is a pretty comprehensive list of references to PM here (without the benefit of the PDF search function) and it is bugger all. I think "throughout the books" is a bit strong, especially when you eliminate the glossary, references and the token list in the standard intro to the books.

CSI does indeed refer to PRINCE2 in 3.11.1 (p36) as one of a list of framerworks that "fully support the concepts embodied in CSI". Oh that's alright then. Appendix A is called Complementary Guidance and is an expanded description of the usual list of ISO0000, COBIT, Six Sigma and CMMI, where PRINCE2 gets a very glancing reference in the last paragraph on p177, which also makes the startling assertion that "Project Management is discussed in great detail in the ITIL Service Transition volume". Project and Portfolio Management tools get a paragraph on p149.

There is zero mention of Project Management, PMBOK or PRINCE2 in the index of Service Strategy, but Google finds PRINCE2 on pages 7 and 246, the standard intro and the glossary respectively, and p190 where it gets a glancing mention in the context of analytical modelling.

"Not counting the Glossaries and References in each book, according to Google Search, 'PRINCE2' is only mentioned in Service Design, Service Transition, and Service Operation ..."

A pdf text search also shows it appearing several times in SS and CSI. CSI, for instance, refers to it in "3.11.1 Frameworks" and "Appendix A: Project Management."

I also found references to PMBOK and general project management throughout the books, including references for the PRINCE2 official website and ISBN number.

I guess Google Search has its limitations.
