So you want to embrace Agile methods, but are concerned about what happens to governance?
The good news is that you can take full advantage of the benefits Agile methods bring while working within a framework that fits your governance needs.
Agile methods continue to gain popularity with a wide variety of organisations due to many business reasons including; Early and incremental delivery of business value, reduced risk, increased collaboration, fewer quality issues, and better results.
PRINCE2 Agile® will teach you ways to blend and flex PRINCE2® controls, themes, and processes for an Agile environment. If you are not experienced in PRINCE2®, but have prior knowledge of other Agile Methods (SCRUM specifically), you will get a lot of value out of learning to work in Agile ways under the umbrella of governance, business cases, and other organisational processes.

Introducing PRINCE2 Agile®.
As organisation’s adapt to address the ever changing demands of today’s world, so too do project managers who need to be able to deliver increasingly complex projects. That’s why PRINCE2® – the world’s most adopted project management method – is adapting and harnessing the advantages of ‘Agile’.
PRINCE2 Agile® has been built collaboratively with industry experts from both the PRINCE2® and Agile domain. Combining the governance and direction of PRINCE2®, with the flexibility of the agile ways of working approach. The result: PRINCE2 Agile® brings together the best of both worlds.
Allowing your project delivery to be more timely and responsive whilst at the same time protecting the level of quality.
PRINCE2 Agile® clearly shows how to integrate with all things agile such as the frameworks, the concepts, the behaviours, and the techniques, in order to tailor PRINCE2® to any agile context. The most complete project management solution in an agile context. PRINCE2 Agile® integrates with frameworks such as KANBAN, SCRUM and more recent approaches such as Lean Start-up and Cynefin. It builds on the principles of PRINCE2® with five key behaviours:
- Transparency – enables speed, clarity and engagement.
- Collaboration – builds on teamwork and keeps the project customer focused.
- Rich communication – creates a high speed communication environment.
- Self-organisation – empowers the team at the delivery level.
