Syllabus – key points
The PRINCE2 Agile Foundation syllabus gives you the knowledge and tools to blend Agile practices with PRINCE2 principles for effective project delivery.
Understanding Agile in a PRINCE2 Context
This module introduces how Agile approaches integrate into structured project management. You will examine Agile behaviours, terminology, and delivery methods, and see how they complement the principles of PRINCE2 to enable responsive yet well-governed project outcomes.
The Agile Mindset
You’ll learn what it means to adopt an Agile mindset, exploring values such as adaptability, collaboration, openness to change, and empowerment. The course also introduces the Agile Onion model, which illustrates how a strong mindset and culture provide the foundation for effective Agile processes and tools.
Being Agile vs Doing Agile
Here, you’ll explore the important distinction between being Agile and doing Agile. You’ll recognise how leadership behaviours, team culture, and organisational mindset influence agility, and how these must work hand in hand with Agile techniques and practices to create sustainable success.
Agile Concepts and Tools
This part of the syllabus covers the practical methods that underpin Agile delivery. You’ll gain knowledge of:
- User stories for capturing requirements.
- Burn-down and burn-up charts for progress tracking.
- Stand-ups and backlogs for daily communication and prioritisation.
- Estimation techniques like T-shirt sizing for forecasting effort.
- The role of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in delivering value early and refining through feedback.
Applying PRINCE2 Principles in Agile Projects
Finally, you will explore how the seven PRINCE2 principles provide a governance framework for Agile projects. You’ll learn how these principles support business justification, stakeholder alignment, effective risk management, and value-driven delivery while enabling the flexibility and responsiveness demanded by Agile working environments.
