An independent, self-paced exam preparation course for learners studying PRINCE2 Agile. Seven lessons explain how PRINCE2 governance combines with agile delivery, the hexagon of fixed and flexible targets, assessing agile suitability with the Agilometer, agile concepts and frameworks, applying practices and processes in agile settings, focus areas such as requirements and contracts, and exam technique. This is exam preparation only: it does not include an exam voucher, is not accredited training and does not award any certification. Confirm the current syllabus and exam rules with the official exam institute.

Why Combine PRINCE2 and Agile
Fixed and Flexed Targets
A central idea in PRINCE2 Agile is deciding which performance targets are fixed and which can flex. This is often shown as a hexagon of six aspects. The six aspects Time, cost, scope, quality, risk and benefits. The typical position Time and cost are fixed: timeboxes and budgets are set and respected. Quality criteria are […]
The Agilometer and Agile Suitability
Not every project environment suits agile working equally well. The Agilometer assesses factors that affect how agile a project can be, helping teams tailor and manage risk. Assessment areas Flexibility on what is delivered. Level of collaboration. Ease of communication. Ability to work iteratively and deliver incrementally. Advantageous environmental conditions, such as supportive management. Acceptance […]
Agile Concepts, Roles and Behaviours
PRINCE2 Agile draws on widely used agile frameworks and techniques. Exam questions test understanding of common concepts. Frameworks and techniques Scrum: product owner, Scrum master, developers, sprints, product backlog, sprint backlog, sprint planning, daily scrum, review and retrospective. Kanban: visualising work, limiting work in progress, managing flow and making policies explicit. Lean startup: build, measure, […]
Practices and Processes in Agile Projects
Each PRINCE2 practice and process still applies in agile projects but is applied differently. Practices Business case: may focus on a minimum viable product, with benefits realised incrementally through releases. Organising: includes agile roles and emphasises collaboration and co-location. Plans: product roadmaps, release plans and sprint plans replace detailed long-range plans; product descriptions may become […]
Focus Areas
PRINCE2 Agile guidance highlights several focus areas where combining PRINCE2 and agile needs particular care. Requirements Requirements are prioritised and refined progressively. High-level requirements are captured early, with detail added just in time. Every requirement should have acceptance criteria. Rich communication Face-to-face conversation, visual information radiators and workshops are preferred to lengthy documents. Frequent releases […]
Exam Technique and Practice Questions
This lesson summarises exam technique. Always confirm current exam details with the official exam institute. Approach Identify whether the question is about governance, delivery or the combination. Remember the default: time and cost fixed, scope flexed. Choose answers that keep PRINCE2 principles intact while enabling agile ways of working. Be wary of answers that discard […]
