Prince2 Agile - Learnovate

Course Overview

PRINCE2 Agile is the world’s most popular project management methodology that blends the flexibility and responsiveness of agile with the governance strengths of PRINCE2.

PRINCE2, the most commonly adopted approach of project management in the world is becoming central in its usage in conjunction with agile practices, behaviors and techniques. The business ecosystem today has become so dynamic and the luxury of yesterday cannot cope any longer. For this reason, organizations are increasingly adopting agile. Therefore, the need for specific guidance on how to use PRINCE2 in agile ways of working has grown considerably. In other words, as the need to keep using PRINCE2 cannot go away and the need to become agile in the ways of project product delivery is driving businesses across the globe to adopt agile, combining the two is the new normal. This complements the two to create a holistic approach to managing projects.

Execution of successful projects lies in three areas – project direction, management and delivery. The strength of PRINCE2 lies in project direction and project management but has little focus on delivery. This weak area is the strong focus of agile yet weak in direction and management. Hence, combining PRINCE2 and agile has birthed PRINCE2 Agile which ensure efficient execution of projects.
