PRINCE2 Agile certification

What is PRINCE2 Agile?

Published by AXELOS in June 2015, PRINCE2 Agile is a project management certification scheme developed by AXELOS.

Why was PRINCE2 Agile developed?

PRINCE2 Agile was created to meet increasing demand from the project management community to update the PRINCE2 project management method and improve it with the inclusion of agile tools and practices.

PRINCE2 Agile combines the powerful governance and control features of the PRINCE2 method with the flexibility of Agile.

Is PRINCE2 compatible with Agile?

Yes, it is. Many assume that traditional PRINCE2 project management is incompatible with Agile practices. They are wrong!

PRINCE2 project management dictates the use of a comprehensive set of controls and governance features which might appear to be at odds with the flexibility demanded by Agile.

However, PRINCE2 Agile maintains the level of control provide by PRINCE2 but goes a step further to enable work at the delivery-level to be improved without sacrificing the stability and reliability afforded by PRINCE2.

So, while the PRINCE2 framework can help project managers ensure stability and predictability, PRINCE2 Agile helps project managers work better interface with agile teams.

Combining PRINCE2 with agile

When combining PRINCE2 with agile it is important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of both PRINCE2 and agile.

PRINCE2
Strengths
  • Decisions are based upon business justification.
  • Project governance helps ensure the project is managed properly and the right things are delivered.
  • Nothing in the method is inherently ‘anti-agile’.
Weaknesses
  • Has an (unfair) reputation for being cumbersome.
  • Is not a development methodology.
Agile approaches
Strengths
  • Ability to deliver early, often, and on-time.
  • Good for projects where requirements are unknown or subject to change.
Weaknesses
  • Doesn’t provide a business justification.
  • Is not a project management methodology.

Whilst on their own, both PRINCE2 and agile approaches are perfectly good in and of themselves, they can both be even more valuable when combined. That is the rationale behind the creation of PRINCE2 Agile.

Is PRINCE2 Agile certification popular?

Is PRINCE2 Agile certification popular?

PRINCE2 is the leading project management methodology and certification scheme in the UK and EU. Over 2 million PRINCE2 exams have been sat since 1995. With PRINCE2 Agile becoming more widely known, PRINCE2 Agile exams are being taken in ever increasing numbers.

PRINCE2 Agile builds on PRINCE2

PRINCE2 Agile does not seek to replace PRINCE2 as the industry-standard project management method. Rather it helps existing PRINCE2 project managers learn to apply PRINCE2 on agile projects.

This makes PRINCE2 Agile great for those new to project management, and experienced project managers with years of applied PRINCE2 experience.

Reliability of PRINCE2

While there have been attempts to create new project management methods over the years, many organisations (both public and private) continue to rely on PRINCE2 – especially in those industries where agile has not yet penetrated.

What are the levels of PRINCE2 Agile certification?

What are the levels of PRINCE2 Agile certification?

There are 2 levels of PRINCE2 Agile certification: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation certification and PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner certification.

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation certification helps students learn to deliver agile projects by tailoring PRINCE2 management controls with a broad toolset of agile delivery techniques and frameworks. Certification is gained by passing the PRINCE2 Agile Foundation exam, which is a 60-minute multiple-choice, closed-book exam.

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation certification and training is aimed at:

  • Agile team members seeking to gain greater an understanding of how PRINCE2 can be used on agile projects.
  • Traditional project managers needing to better understand how PRINCE2 can be used on agile projects.
  • Key staff responsible for overseeing product delivery on agile projects.

PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner

PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner certification focuses much more on the practical application of PRINCE2 in an agile context. Students learn how to blend the structure, governance, and controls of PRINCE2 with agile methods, techniques, and approaches. Certification is gained by passing the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam, which is a 150-minute multiple-choice, open-book exam. In addition, there are prerequisites (see course details section below).

PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner certification and training is aimed at:

  • Working PRINCE2 project managers wanting to learn to manage agile projects.
  • Staff involved in integrating project management with product delivery.
  • Senior staff who work alongside agile project managers.
  • Staff with governance responsibilities for projects using agile delivery approaches
  • Staff involved providing programme and project support functions
  • Those new to project management who want to work as agile project managers.
