PRINCE2® Agile Practitioner

Extending the PRINCE2® metodology with Agile

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Agile is a methodology that relies on iterative development such that the needs and solutions emerge from collaborations between self-dependent teams. Agile endorses a disciplined approach to project management. The Agile approach believes in best practices that help in rapid development while meeting the organisation’s goals as well.
