The drivers and the audience for PRINCE2 Agile• Demand from Practitioners• Agile is everywhere• A lot of agile is in a project context

…and each context may be very different

• Basic agile?• Mature agile?• No agile!

#prince2agile

Do we really need it?

• Not everyone likes change• Not everyone likes something new• Isn't responding to change inherently agile?• PRINCE2 Agile isn’t a new form of tax!• Are different viewpoints good?• Doesn’t competition help the customer?

#prince2agile

The basics

• Myth-busting or stating the obvious?• PRINCE2 is already enabled for agile• PRINCE2 is not a ‘traditional’ PM approach• PRINCE2 Agile is for any project not just IT

projects• ‘IT only’ frameworks are mentioned but not

extensively• Agile is not just Scrum• Scrum and Kanban are the most popular• PRINCE2 Agile sees ‘agile’ as a family of

behaviours, frameworks, concepts and techniques• Agile is not a binary condition.

What is in PRINCE2 Agile?

Agile Behaviours

Agile Frameworks

Agile Concepts

Agile Focus Areas

Agile Techniques

AgilePM – where does it fit?

• It doesn’t!• A very common question• Pre-2009 – DSDM plugged the gaps in PRINCE2• 2009 onwards – there are no gaps to plug• The choice depends on your situation• The same applies to similar approaches.

No more triangles?

How about a Hexagon?

Is PRINCE2 Agile a challenge?

Yes!If the answer is easy…

…then so is the question.
