PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner Certification
PRINCE2 Agile combines the structured PRINCE2 method with agile ways of working like Scrum and Kanban. Originating from the UK in the late 1980s, PRINCE2 evolved, and in 2015, PRINCE2 Agile was introduced to help organisations deliver projects faster while maintaining control. While Scrum focuses on small teams without much overall control and traditional PRINCE2 is structured but less flexible, PRINCE2 Agile blends flexibility with clear governance. It suits organisations needing speed and adherence to rules across sectors like finance, government, and digital projects. This guide covers what PRINCE2 Agile is, its users, certification levels, and exam preparation.

About PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner Certification
PRINCE2 Agile: Complete Training for Foundation and Practitioner Certification
PRINCE2 Agile builds on the well-known PRINCE2 method by combining its core principles, themes (practices), and processes with important agile ideas like timeboxing, sprints, backlogs, and working in short, repeated cycles. It creates a clear framework where project control and agile ways of working come together. Traditional PRINCE2 controls are adapted to fit agile teams who work in quick cycles. The project’s business case changes and improves through frequent releases and ongoing feedback. Stage boundaries match sprint cycles, allowing flexibility within set limits while keeping stakeholders informed.
Practical agile tools like daily stand-up meetings, retrospectives, Kanban boards, user stories, and focusing on the smallest usable product help teams stay organized and transparent. The PRINCE2 strategic approach supports this work. A unique Hexagon Model helps balance fixed aspects like time and cost with flexible areas like quality and scope, guiding smart trade-offs. PRINCE2 Agile works with many agile methods such as Scrum, Kanban, lean startup, or scaled agile frameworks, giving guidance on project control while agile methods handle the actual delivery.
