Agile Projects in a Controlled Environment:
The case for Agile methods is proven. Agile has escaped the confines of the technical community is now on the business agenda of all progressive companies. Increasingly, organisations that use PRINCE2™ and other ‘traditional’ approaches to Project Management are seeking to benefit from the introduction of Agile methods.

It may at first appear that there is an incompatibility between Agile methods and PRINCE2™ (or other traditional project management approaches) - and it is true that using them together is not straightforward. However the potential benefits are huge, and when approached properly the issues can be addressed and can be resolved in a way that builds on the strengths of both.

This training course considers all of the leading Agile approaches including eXtreme Programming, Scrum, DSDM, the Agile Unified Process and Lean Software Development. It examines the issues, risks and benefits of implementing Agile alongside traditional PRINCE2™ methods, and presents proven solutions through examination of the options and practical Case Studies.
