PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner

Who can participate?

This course is relevant for anyone who wishes to work in a more agile way with PRINCE2®. PRINCE2 Agile® provides an even more nuanced picture of how to apply PRINCE2® in projects.

A certain amount of knowledge of PRINCE2® is required for the course, so you should not participate if you have no knowledge of PRINCE2®. Agile experience is not a requirement, as we will go over agile methods and frameworks.

• PRINCE2^® Foundation (or higher)
• PRINCE2 Agile^® Foundation
• Project Management Qualification^® (PMQ)^*
• Certified Associate in Project Management^® (CAPM)^*

Course content

You will acquire in-depth knowledge of how agile tools like Scrum, Kanban and Lean Startup can contribute positively to a project environment.

The course does not focus on any one of these methods, but rather uses the best techniques from various agile approaches. Hence, it is not a prerequisite for you to have worked with Scrum, Kanban or any of the other tools to benefit from PRINCE2 Agile®.

During the course you will be working with:

• Specific methods for working in an agile way with your PRINCE2® project
• Integration of the agile approach’s flexibility towards PRINCE2®’s comprehensive structure
• Exercises in agile tools that can be added to your projects from day one
• Agile tools such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean Startup

The PRINCE2® method

PRINCE2® is a best-practice project management method, which ensures that the project organisation is in place from start and that management roles and responsibilities have been agreed upon and made visible.

The method consists of a process model that serves to guide the project management through all the processes required to ensure that the project delivers the result, which will generate the expected benefits from a business point of view.
