Prince2 Agile Combo

PRINCE2 Agile® 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 Start-up. It provides guidance on tailoring PRINCE2® in an agile context and includes:

  • How to tailor the integrated set of PRINCE2® principles, themes and processes
  • How to produce the PRINCE2® management products
  • How to map the common agile roles to the PRINCE2 project management team structure

    Benefits of PRINCE2 Agile

    • Promotes consistency of project work and the ability to reuse project assets; it also facilitates staff mobility and reduces the impact of personnel changes/handovers.
    • Is an invaluable diagnostic tool, facilitating the assurance and assessment of project work, troubleshooting and audits.
    • Plans are carefully designed to meet the needs of the different levels in the management group, improving communication and control.
    • Ensures that participants focus on the viability of the project in relation to its Business Case objectives - rather than simply seeing the completion of the project as an end in itself.
    • Defines a thorough but economic structure of reports.
    • Ensures that stakeholders (including sponsors and resource providers) are properly represented in planning and decision making.
