Course description
PRINCE2® Agile Foundation eLearning, including official exam and certification
Combine the agile flexibility of the PRINCE2 methodology
If you are working on projects in an agile environment or just want to make sure your existing knowledge is up to date, then this is the course to start with. You will leave this course with an understanding of the interface between PRINCE2 and agile ways of working. You will expand your knowledge of agile concepts and techniques such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean Start-up.
Course Overview
PRINCE2 Agile Foundation provides a good basis for project work and management with PRINCE2 in combination with agile methods. The certification is suitable for those who work in agile projects and who want to be able to combine PRINCE2 with agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean Startup.
What is PRINCE2 Agile®?
PRINCE2 Agile® combines the flexibility and responsiveness of Agile methods with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2®. PRINCE2 Agile has been created for those organizations and individuals who use PRINCE2 (or other project management methodologies, such as Props, PPS, etc.) but recognize the benefits of using Agile methods.
PRINCE2 Agile provides guidance on how to practically use both PRINCE2 and Agile, reduce conflicts and implement effectively, so that you can benefit from the best of both worlds.
The aim of the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner qualification is to demonstrate that you can apply and adapt PRINCE2 Agile to different types of projects. A successful Practitioner should be able to start applying the methodology to a real project but may not be sufficiently qualified to do this appropriately in all situations. Your individual project management expertise, the complexity of the project and the support provided for the use of PRINCE2 Agile in your working environment will all be factors in what you can achieve.

- To support organizations and individuals who use PRINCE2 and want to expand their knowledge and understanding of Agile.
- To apply Agile concepts within their existing project management environment
- PRINCE2 Agile will provide Agile users with an understanding of PRINCE2 governance and how Agile concepts fit into the well-established best practice framework of the world's most recognized project management framework.
