This five-day course is a combination of the PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner courses and provides both exams. It provides delegates with a thorough understanding of the PRINCE2 Agile® methodology. During the course we introduce the PRINCE2® methodology and concepts of common agile ways of working, discuss how to blend PRINCE2® with Agile, the purpose and context for blending PRINCE2® and the agile way of working, evaluate the focus areas to a project in an agile context, fix and flex the six aspects of a project in an agile context and be able to apply or tailor the PRINCE2® for a project in an agile context.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is aimed at candidates who are new to PRINCE2® and are working in or around an agile project environment. The course covers an overview of PRINCE2®, an introduction to agile, and how to apply the two together.
PRINCE2 Agile® has been developed for anyone who delivers projects, large or small, in an agile context. It is a valuable training and certification scheme for anyone working within an agile project environment, whether they be a project manager, project support or part of the wider project team.
PRINCE2 Agile® equips practitioners and organizations with the ability to deliver agile projects by tailoring the PRINCE2® project management method with a broad toolset of agile delivery techniques and frameworks. In this way, practitioners will leverage the benefits of agile ways of working such as iterative and incremental delivery while maintaining a structure of project governance.
