Accredited PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation & Practitioner (exams included)

PRINCE2 Agile® is a combination of Agile project management and ‘PRojects IN Controlled Environments 2’, better known as PRINCE2. Released back in 2015, the dual framework has proven extremely popular with project management teams across a multitude of different sectors and industries. PRINCE2 Agile® is a combination of two styles of project management. PRINCE2 focuses on strategy and upper-tier decision-making, while Agile is more about responsiveness, autonomy, and swift benefits realization. Generally speaking, the project management methodology ‘works’ by applying PRINCE2 principles and techniques within Agile environments. It could even be described as a form of PRINCE2 that is simply better suited to Agile projects.

PRINCE2 Agile® blends the flexibility and responsiveness of agile with the defined governance of PRINCE2®. The training and certification is delivered at two levels:

1. PRINCE2 Agile Foundation provides the fundamentals of the PRINCE2 method so you can embed PRINCE2 Agile into your day-to-day work practices, testing knowledge of PRINCE2 governance requirements, agile concepts and techniques and the interface between them.

2. PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner takes the knowledge acquired at Foundation level and applies it to the workplace, using real-world management examples.

Benefits of using PRINCE2 Agile®

PRINCE2 Agile® combines the flexibility and responsiveness of agile with the clearly- defined framework of PRINCE2®. Created for those organisations and individuals who use PRINCE2®, but recognise the benefits of applying agile methods, it provides guidance on how to practically apply both PRINCE2® and agile; thus, reducing conflict so that you can benefit from the best of both worlds.
