15. What is classic PRINCE2?
 PRINCE2 is detailed project management method (HOW)
 PRINCE2 is a structured (sequential) project management
method based on principles and themes that originate
from lessons learned from projects
 The PRINCE2 project management approach is:
 process based
 product based
 PRINCE2 provides easy to understand project lifecycle
 PRINCE2 creates project organisation structure with clearly
defined roles and responsibilities
 PRINCE2 recognizes performance projects factors for time,
costs, quality, scope, benefits and risks

17.  PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile are only suitable for projects
 Agile can be used on projects and for ongoing ‘Business as
Usual’ (BAU) work (embedding Agile culture in the
organisation)

19.  The term ‘agile’ is viewed in many different ways
 Philosophy, way of working, approach etc.
 Well-known behaviours, concepts and techniques
characterising agile
 The Agile Manifesto comes closest to a single definition –
it was created as an alternative to ‘waterfall’ processes
 Agile addressed the new demands placed on the delivery
of software (yet it is not only used in IT domain)

20. The Agile Manifesto
An overview of agile
“We are uncovering better ways of developing software by
doing it and helping others do it”
Through this work we have come to value
Agile
(empirical/adaptive process control model)
Traditional
(defined/deterministic process control model)
People and Interactions over Processes and Tools
Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation
Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation
Responding to Change over Following a Plan
While there is value in the items on the right; we value the items on the left more.
(but Agile is not just about delivering software, it applies to all types of project)

21. Situation Dictates The Type Of Process
An overview of agile
Examples:
Assembling, construction,
transporting, accounting
Examples:
Sales, marketing, painting,
music, creative writing
Empirical Predictive/Deterministic
• Frequent inspection and
adaptation occurs as work
proceeds
• Processes are accepted as
imperfectly defined
• Outputs are often unpredictable
and unrepeatable
• Work and outcomes are
understood before execution
• Given a well-defined set of
inputs, the same outputs are
generated every time
• Follow the pre-determined steps
to get known results

ITIL
 Can be used as a method for
delivering IT projects having
requirements regarding
reporting, compliance, control
and risk management
 ITIL aligned to Agile principles
together with PRINCE2 Agile
can be used as a basis for
DevOps
 Integrates with PMOs by dedicated roles
strictly responsible for project support
and project assurance
 Support project monitoring
and control at the portfolio
level with KPI and EWIs
 Classic PRINCE2 uses risk
management process defined
in M_o_R allowing PRINCE2 to
be easily integrated within
enterprise risk management
 Offers predictable products delivery within programme
 By natura of programme they are incremental and can
be easily combined with PRINCE2 Agile
 Provides framework for
producing products acting as
options for value improvement
proposals framework
 For PRINCE2 Agile, MoV offers
set of techniqes and tools
