This course covers the qualification from AXELOS which represents an extension to PRINCE2. The course is equally divided between practical exercises and theory as it examines how to use PRINCE2 in an agile context. The course ends with an exam that allows you to achieve PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner status.
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner is for candidates who have attended the PRINCE2 Agile Foundation course and wish to develop their skills further.
By actively participating in this course, you will learn about the following:
The course explains to delegates how to tailor PRINCE2 to work in the best way possible in an agile context.
It looks at how to blend and weave the principles, processes and themes of PRINCE2 with many of the common ways of working in an agile way.
It examines how to configure PRINCE2 when in different situations and how to incorporate the agile frameworks, behaviours, concepts and techniques in the best way possible to increase the chances of successful project delivery.
Candidates can sit PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner if they hold any of the following project management certifications: PRINCE2 Foundation, PRINCE2 Agile Foundation. Project Management Professional (PMP)*, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)* and IMPA Levels A,B, C and D (Certified Project Director).
There is very little time spent on recapping PRINCE2 and therefore out of date knowledge or gaps in understanding of PRINCE2 will put the delegate at a disadvantage as PRINCE2 Agile builds on the candidates existing PRINCE2 knowledge.
