      Frequently Asked Questions

      You have questions, and we have all the answers

      PRINCE2® is a project management methodology that provides a framework for managing projects effectively. It outlines a series of steps, processes, and best practices to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. PRINCE2® is perceived to be a linear process. You might use PRINCE2® to plan and organise an event or large meeting.

      Agile, on the other hand, is an iterative (repetitive) approach to project management that emphasises flexibility, collaboration, and rapid delivery. It is particularly useful for projects that require frequent feedback and adaptation to changing requirements. You might use Agile to design and launch a new application.

      PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation is a certification that combines the best of both worlds: PRINCE2® and Agile. It provides learners with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully integrate the two methodologies and manage projects effectively in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

      You could use PRINCE2 Agile® for situations such as implementing a new marketing campaign: PRINCE2® will provide you with a structured framework to plan and execute, whilst Agile will be the approach used for the creative and content development process.

      The PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation certification was created for individuals who deliver projects (large or small) in an Agile context. This certification is thus suited for anyone looking to move into project management with a sturdy foundation, or for those looking to validate their existing experience with a renowned certification.

      The PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation certification is assessed and awarded by means of an examination. This exam comprises of 50 objective, multiple choice questions (meaning you will have to select your answers from the options you are provided with). Your exam will be 60 minutes long, and you will be required to score 55% or higher in order to pass this exam. This is a closed-book exam.

      This certification improves your employability, increases your adaptability, expedites collaboration & communication, and improves the outcome of any deliverables you may need to achieve. Even if you are not explicitly looking to move into project management, the PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation will allow you to be a more effective team member and enhance your management abilities.

      As of 2023, PeopleCert Best Global Practice certifications need to be renewed after 3 years of having obtained your qualification. This is to ensure your certification remains in line with current best practices within your industry.
