What is PRINCE2 Agile®?. PRINCE2 is a standard method for effective project management that is used all over the world and can be tailored to suit any project that you manage. PRINCE2 Agile combines the flexibility and responsiveness of agile with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2 and provides guidance on how to practically apply both, PRINCE2 and agile, reduce conflict and implement it effectively, so you benefit from the best of both worlds.
PRINCE2 Agile® is the world’s most complete project management solution, combining the flexibility and responsiveness of agile with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2®. PRINCE2 Agile® is both a standalone qualification as well as an extension module tailored for forward thinking organizations and individuals already benefiting from PRINCE2® that would like further guidance on how to apply agile development methods to the world’s most recognized project management method.
PRINCE2® Agile® is supported by an exam qualification and accredited training to support its use. As with PRINCE2®, PRINCE2 Agile® can be applied to any type of project within any industry sector, but with the emphasis on an agile approach.
This guidance and training helps experienced PRINCE2® Practitioners tailor project management controls for agile development, while helping ‘agilistas’ understand PRINCE2® project governance requirements.
