Is it worth doing PRINCE2 Agile? Yes! Up to date Includes a lot of the newer agile thinking Includes Kanban, Cynefin and Lean Startup Very relevant, very good ‘One-stop shop’ for agile projects Builds on your investment No need to reinvent anything. #prince2agile

Always understand the context Most of the information about Agile refers to a ‘Business as Usual’ (BAU) context/environment Using Agile in a project environment is more difficult You must categorise work appropriately …and don’t believe the myth that projects no longer exist! #prince2agile

Agile Advantages State of the art Feature prioritisation On time Protects quality Small batches Responsive Fast feedback Already contains governance …but this isn’t just an IT thing. #prince2agile

Agile Disadvantages Nobody knows exactly what it is! Some BAU concepts don’t cross over to projects easily People think it is ‘binary’ or ‘all in’ Self-organisation can be overplayed It is more than just a mind-set. #prince2agile

What is in PRINCE2 Agile?

PRINCE2 Agile behaviours

Transparency Not just visibility Honesty and integrity Quick Self-correcting.

Exploration Build the right thing and build it right Loops, experiments, spikes ‘Shorten the feedback loop’ Is it real feedback?

Collaboration Helping each other ‘what comes around goes around’ Two areas: Team Customer Successful sports teams do Not, ‘I have done my bit’.

Self-organisation Very powerful if carried out correctly People nearest to the work ‘know best’ Ownership and buy-in …but they must know where the destination is Avoid self-direction.

Rich communication Often the biggest single problem The written word is limited Face-to-face and visual Geographical separation needs care.

Traffic lights You need to make this happen Agile uses timeboxing and needs to be on time
