PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner is a solution combining the flexibility and responsiveness of Agile with the clearly defined framework of PRINCE2®. PRINCE2 Agile® framework covers a wide range of agile concepts, including SCRUM, Kanban, and Lean Startup. The PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner certification teaches you to blend structure, governance, and control with agile methods, techniques, and approaches. The strength of PRINCE2® lies in the areas of project direction and project management, whereas Agile has a very strong focus on product delivery. When PRINCE2® and agile are combined, project direction, project management, and project delivery are optimized to create a complete project management solution. PRINCE2 Agile® is an extension module tailored for forward-thinking organizations and individuals already benefiting from PRINCE2®. It provides further guidance on how to apply agile methods to the world's most recognized project management method. The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to demonstrate that you can apply and tailor PRINCE2 Agile® in a scenario situation. What you will Learn Understand the basic concepts of common agile ways of working Understand the purpose and context for combining PRINCE2® and the agile way of working Able to apply and evaluate the focus areas to a project in an agile context Able to fix and flex the aspects of a project in an agile context Apply the PRINCE2® principles and tailor the themes, processes, and management products to a project in an agile context To learn through the use of theory and practical exercises Prepare for the PRINCE2 Agile® Practitioner exam Benefits Agile methods allow organizations to realize the benefits of products and potentially an earlier return on investment while products are being developed and improved Improved communication through the use of common terminology across PRINCE2® and agile disciplines Develop a clear definition of how agile can govern a project's delivery, while PRINCE2® governs projects as a whole Seamless integration: PRINCE2 Agile® will complementPMBOK® GuideandAPM Body of Knowledge® just as PRINCE2® does currently. It will also be of interest for Program Managers with MSP® who need to understand how projects relate to the delivery mechanism. The most up-to-date and relevant view of Agile project management methodologies, PRINCE2 Agile® references the 'flow-based' working featured in Kanban in addition to other agile concepts not covered in other qualifications Agile Overview & Blending PRINCE2 and Agile Agile overview Blending PRINCE2 and Agile Fix and Flex, Agile and PRINCE2 Processes & Starting a Project Fix and Flex Agile and the PRINCE2 Processes; Starting up a project and Initiating a project Business case theme Change and Organization Themes& Principles Change theme Organization theme Agile and PRINCE2 Principles and the Agilometer Managing Product Delivery and Scrum & Plans and Progress Themes Managing product delivery and Scrum Plans Theme and Progress Theme Quality, Controlling & Managing a Stage and Directing Projects and Contracts Quality Theme Controlling a stage and Frequent Releases Managing a stage boundary Directing a project and contracts Closing a project Tailoring PRINCE2 Productsand Other Practices Tailoring PRINCE2 products and other practices
