PRINCE2® AGILE PRACTITIONER

About this PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner course

PRINCE2 Agile is an extension module of PRINCE2, designed for forward-looking organizations and individuals who already benefit from PRINCE2. The method provides further guidance on how to apply agile methods to the world’s most recognized project management method. As with PRINCE2, PRINCE2 Agile can be applied to any type of project within any industry sector.

Our 3-day intensive and practical training helps experienced PRINCE2 users and/or experienced Agile professionals to get insight in how the PRINCE2 governance model can be applied to Agile environments. By taking this course, participants will acquire management controls for agile development, while experienced agile practitioners understand PRINCE2 governance requirements.
