Course description
PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner
PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner is a solution combining the flexibility and responsiveness of Agile with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2®. PRINCE2 Agile® framework covers a wide range of agile concepts, including SCRUM, Kanban, and Lean Startup. The PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner certification teaches you to blend structure, governance, and control with agile methods, techniques, and approaches.
The strength of PRINCE2® lies in the areas of project direction and project management, whereas Agile has a very strong focus on product delivery. When PRINCE2® and agile are combined, project direction, project management, and project delivery are optimized to create a complete project management solution.
PRINCE2 Agile® is an extension module tailored for forward-thinking organizations and individuals already benefiting from PRINCE2®. It provides further guidance on how to apply agile methods to the world’s most recognized project management method. The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to demonstrate that you can apply and tailor PRINCE2 Agile® in a scenario situation.
