Course Overview

This three day course provides delegates with a thorough understanding of the PRINCE2® Agile guidance, and is aligned to the current version of PRINCE2. During the course we introduce the basic concepts of common agile ways of working, discuss the purpose and context for combing 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 principles, themes, processes and management products to a project in an agile context.

Course Objectives:

  • Understand the basic concepts of common agile ways of working
  • Be able to apply and evaluate the focus areas to a project in an agile context
  • Be able to fix and flex the six aspects of a project in an agile context
  • Be able to apply or tailor the PRINCE2 principles, themes, processes and management products to a project in an agile context

Target Audience

PRINCE2 Agile is aimed at project managers and aspiring project managers. It is also relevant to other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of projects, including: Project Board member, Team Managers, Project Assurance (e.g. Business Change Analysts), Project Support (e.g. Project and Program Office personnel) and operational line managers/staff.

Pre-requisites

Delegates are required to be ‘Registered PRINCE2 Practitioners’. Acceptable forms of pre-requisite confirmation are as follows:

  • A copy of the delegate’s PRINCE2 Practitioner examination certificate
  • Confirmed entry in the AXELOS Successful Candidate Register (This must be a clear print screen of the AXELOS Successful Candidate
    Register, with the delegates details, displayed).

IMPORTANT: Delegates without evidence of the prerequisites will NOT be permitted to sit the exam. There is no dedicated pre-course reading. This course will not be recapping PRINCE2, rather focussing on the agile concepts, therefore, some delegates may benefit from refreshing their PRINCE2 knowledge.

PRINCE2 Agile Examination – key information

  • 2.5 hour exam
  • Open book (PRINCE2 Agile book only)
  • Objective Testing Exam
  • Taken on the afternoon of the third day
  • 5 questions totalling 50 marks
  • Pass mark is 60% (30 correct answers).

Throughout the PRINCE2 Agile course, delegates will be exposed to numerous examples of examination questions. We will undertake a number of exercises and ‘question-and-answer’ sessions that will help to
consolidate the learning, thereby ensuring that delegates are more than adequately prepared for the final examination.
