PRINCE2 Agile: project governance meets agility
PRINCE2 Agile is the extension of the PRINCE2 method published by PeopleCert/Axelos to combine PRINCE2 rigour (governance, business case, documentary traceability) with the flexibility of agile approaches (Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup, XP). This fusion responds to an operational reality: mature organisations seek to maintain their project governance framework while integrating agile practices in delivery. PRINCE2 Agile structures this combination via the concepts of agilometer, tolerance per target, focus on deliverables and tailoring to context.
In French-speaking Switzerland, cantonal administrations, international organisations, private banks, public operators and IT services companies actively seek project managers able to navigate between traditional governance and agile delivery. PRINCE2 Agile is particularly useful in hybrid contexts where management requires a structured business case and framed reporting, while delivery teams operate in Scrum or Kanban. ITTA offers official PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner training, on-site in Geneva and Lausanne as well as in interactive virtual classroom with an accredited PRINCE2 Agile trainer live.
Following a recognised PRINCE2 Agile training opens access to highly valued roles: agile project manager, hybrid project manager, agile PMO head, project-oriented agile coach, agile transformation consultant, agile programme coordinator, methodology officer. PRINCE2 Agile certification ideally complements PRINCE2 6th or 7th Edition for profiles managing projects in regulated environments while integrating Scrum teams.
Whether you are preparing PRINCE2 Agile Foundation, targeting the Practitioner level to concretely apply the hybrid framework, or preparing the Foundation and Practitioner bundle, our PRINCE2 Agile training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the entire official framework.
The PRINCE2 Agile catalogue at ITTA
PRINCE2 Agile Foundation
The PRINCE2 Agile Foundation training validates understanding of the PRINCE2 and agile combination. The programme covers PRINCE2 fundamentals (principles, themes, processes), agile fundamentals (Agile Manifesto, Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup, XP), fusion concepts (agilometer, tolerance per target, focus on products), management of agile delivery within a PRINCE2 framework, adaptation of PRINCE2 artefacts to agile environments. This certification is the natural entry into the PRINCE2 Agile path.
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner
The PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner training validates the ability to concretely apply PRINCE2 Agile on a real project. The programme deepens the adaptation of PRINCE2 themes to agile contexts (agile business case, agile quality management, agile risk management), value-driven management (MoSCoW, time-boxing, focus on prioritised deliverables), organisation of agile teams within PRINCE2 governance, and exception management in agile environments. Prerequisite: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation or PRINCE2 Foundation. Targets project managers, senior scrum masters, product owners, PMO heads and agile coaches.
PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner (bundle)
The PRINCE2 Agile Foundation and Practitioner (bundle) training combines both Foundation and Practitioner levels in a single intensive training with both exams taken at the end. This option optimises training time and return on investment for profiles already comfortable with project management or agile practices. The bundle is particularly suited to in-house training where several participants simultaneously target both certifications.
PRINCE2 Agile and the ITTA project/agile ecosystem
PRINCE2 Agile certifications fit into a broader project and agile ecosystem at ITTA. The root PRINCE2 taxonomy regroups all PRINCE2 certifications (6th and 7th Edition, Agile). The agile and Scrum sub-domain covers complementary agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe, Lean). The project management domain centralises all project certifications (PMP, PRINCE2, AgilePM). The Scrum taxonomy brings Scrum.org and Scrum Alliance certifications to deepen agile delivery.
PRINCE2 Agile trends in 2026
PRINCE2 Agile continues to evolve in 2026 to follow organisational agile maturity. The framework now integrates more practices related to scaling frameworks (SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, Scrum@Scale), continuous delivery (DevOps, CI/CD) and product value measurement (OKR, flow metrics). PeopleCert also maintains complementary AgilePM (DSDM Atern) and MSP Agile certifications. PRINCE2 Agile remains widely recognised in Switzerland and Europe in regulated hybrid contexts. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates the evolution of the official syllabus and field feedback.

FAQ
Does PRINCE2 Agile replace PRINCE2 6th/7th Edition?
No, PRINCE2 Agile is an extension that assumes understanding of PRINCE2 principles. For profiles starting out, PRINCE2 Foundation remains the natural entry, then PRINCE2 Agile Foundation/Practitioner for the agile dimension. For profiles already having significant agile experience (Scrum, SAFe), it is possible to go directly to PRINCE2 Agile Foundation then Practitioner. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your profile.
PRINCE2 Agile or SAFe: which to target?
The two certifications address different needs. PRINCE2 Agile targets the management of a single project within a hybrid governance framework. SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) targets the coordination of a multi-team programme (Agile Release Train, Program Increment). Many mature organisations combine both depending on the scope. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your context.
What prerequisite to take PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner?
Taking PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner requires prior validation of PRINCE2 Agile Foundation or PRINCE2 Foundation. Operational experience in agile or hybrid projects is strongly recommended. Our pedagogical team checks prerequisites at enrolment and adapts the path if necessary.
Are your PRINCE2 Agile courses available for companies?
Yes, the entire PRINCE2 Agile catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your agile maturity, your PMO and your use cases. Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
