PRINCE2 Agile is the world’s most complete agile project management method. It combines the governance and structure of PRINCE2 with the flexibility and responsiveness of agile delivery approaches such as Scrum and Kanban. Furthermore, it is the only method that fully integrates a proven project management framework with agile ways of working — making it highly valued by employers across Australia and internationally.
What is the difference between PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile?
PRINCE2 provides a structured framework for managing projects. PRINCE2 Agile takes that same framework and adds guidance on how to apply agile techniques at the delivery level. In addition, PRINCE2 Agile teaches project managers how to tailor PRINCE2 controls to suit agile environments — so governance and agility work together rather than against each other.
What agile methods does PRINCE2 Agile cover?
PRINCE2 Agile covers a range of agile approaches including:
- Scrum — the most widely used agile framework for iterative delivery
- Kanban — a visual workflow management method focused on flow and limiting work in progress
- Lean Startup — a methodology for rapid experimentation and validated learning
- Cynefin — a framework for understanding complexity and choosing appropriate responses
Who is PRINCE2 Agile for?
PRINCE2 Agile suits project managers, team leaders and delivery professionals who work in agile environments. Specifically, it is ideal for those who need to apply PRINCE2 governance while also enabling their teams to work in sprints, use Kanban boards, and deliver iteratively. As a result, it bridges the gap between traditional project management and modern agile delivery.
What are the PRINCE2 Agile certification levels?
There are two certification levels:
- PRINCE2 Agile Foundation — the entry level. Covers the core concepts and how PRINCE2 and agile work together. No prerequisites required.
- PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner — the professional level. Demonstrates you can apply PRINCE2 Agile in real project scenarios. Requires Foundation as a prerequisite.
How does PRINCE2 Agile help my career?
Employers increasingly want project managers who can combine structured governance with agile delivery. Moreover, PRINCE2 Agile certification demonstrates exactly that — you are not just an agile practitioner or just a PRINCE2 project manager, but someone who can do both. Therefore, it significantly strengthens your profile for senior project management roles.
