What is Agile?
To stay effective, businesses need to be able to change quickly. However, the core
focus of traditional project management methodologies is to thoroughly understand the
reasons for change before the change can be enabled. In the real world, this approach
can be far too time-consuming.
Agile project management is a set of frameworks that covers the people, products and practices (techniques)
required to successfully implement projects. Agile is not only suitable for software/systems development it can
also be used to help manage any form of business change.

The Next Step for PRINCE2 Practitioners

Separately, PRINCE2 and Agile are good, robust approaches for the management of all types of projects;
together they are greater than the sum of their parts.

Management Certification

There are very many variants of Agile available. ALC offers the training and certification
accredited by APMG, the organisation most closely associated with PRINCE2. In
November 2010, APMG launched its new Agile Project Management certifications
(AgilePM) in partnership with the DSDM Consortium. Based on the familiar structure
of the PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner level qualifications, AgilePM
certification is underpinned by DSDM Atern, whilst acknowledging the other popular
agile approaches around.

really need more training?
The good news for those who have laboured through PRINCE2 certification is that
your knowledge is not redundant. However, in the ever-moving need for new skills, the
logical next step in your life-long learning is in most cases Agile. Development teams

an essential part of the new Agile project workforce.
