There are two levels within the PRINCE2® Agile certification scheme – Foundation and Practitioner.

Τι είναι η PRINCE2™ AGILE  Methodology;

PRINCE2® Agile™ 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. It provides guidance on tailoring PRINCE2® in an agile context and includes:

• How to tailor the integrated set of PRINCE2® principles, themes and processes
• How to produce the PRINCE2® management products
• How to map the common agile roles to the PRINCE2® project management team structure
• How to incorporate the fundamental agile behaviours, concepts and techniques into PRINCE2

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. PRINCE2® Agile has been developed as a single-tier Practitioner qualification. The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to demonstrate that you can apply and tailor PRINCE2® Agile in a scenario situation. The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to demonstrate that you can apply and tailor PRINCE2® Agile in a scenario situation.

Please note that in order to be eligible for the PRINCE2® Agile certification candidates need to hold a current PRINCE2® Practitioner status (i.e. to have passed the PRINCE2® Practitioner or PRINCE2® Practitioner Re-registration exam within the last 5 years).
