Learning Objectives

By the end of the PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner course, you should:

• Understand the basic concepts of common agile ways of working
• Understand the purpose and context for combining PRINCE2 and the agile way of working
• Be able to apply and evaluate the focus areas of a project in an agile context
• Be able to fix and flex the six aspects of a project in an agile context
• Be able to tailor the PRINCE2 principles, themes, processes, and management products to a project in an agile context

The Practitioner qualification aims to demonstrate that you can apply and tailor PRINCE2 Agile in a scenario. A successful Practitioner candidate should be able to start applying the method to an actual project but may need to be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Your project management expertise, the project's complexity, and the support provided for using PRINCE2 Agile in your work environment will all impact what you can achieve.

PRINCE2 Agile's primary purpose

• To support organizations and individuals who are using PRINCE2 and wish to extend their knowledge and understanding of Agile
• To apply Agile concepts within their existing project management environment
• PRINCE2 Agile will give agile users an understanding of PRINCE2 governance and how agile concepts fit into the well-established best practice framework of the world’s most widely recognized project management framework.

Who is it aimed at

This qualification is aimed at Project Managers with a current PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification. It is also relevant to other key staff integrating project management with product delivery. An understanding of the agile concepts within PRINCE2 Agile will also apply to those with governance responsibilities for projects using agile delivery approaches and those involved with the program and project support functions. It will also be of interest to program managers with MSP® who will need to understand not only how the program relates to projects and how projects relate to the delivery mechanism.
