About this qualification

What Is PRINCE2 Agile Foundation?

The PeopleCert certification that brings together the structure of PRINCE2 with the flexibility of agile delivery.

The qualification explained

PRINCE2 Agile® is the PeopleCert certification that combines the world-renowned PRINCE2 project-management method with agile ways of working — Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup and more. It lets you keep the governance and control that PRINCE2 is known for while delivering in a flexible, iterative way.

The Foundation level is the entry-point qualification. It builds your knowledge of the PRINCE2 basics — its principles, themes and processes — alongside core agile concepts, and shows how PRINCE2 is tailored when working in an agile context. There are no prerequisites: you don’t need any prior experience or PRINCE2 knowledge to take it.

This course covers PRINCE2 Agile version 1. Please note that version 1 is retiring — exam vouchers can be bought until 30 June 2026 and exams sat until 31 December 2026 — and a new version 2 is expected during 2026. Enrol now to get certified while version 1 is available.

In practice

PRINCE2 Agile in the Real World

Governed where it matters, flexible where it counts. See how PRINCE2 Agile applies across UK sectors.

NHS & Public Sector

Delivering a patient-portal rollout with governance and agile sprints

When an NHS Trust rolled out a new patient portal, PRINCE2 provided the governance layer — Business Case, stage boundaries, and board reporting required for public funding — while agile sprints handled the iterative build. Tailoring the PRINCE2 themes for agile let the team fix the deadline and budget while flexing exactly which features shipped first, releasing useful functionality early rather than waiting for one big launch.

PRINCE2 Agile in action The Agilometer flagged that stakeholder availability was low at the start. The team adjusted its approach and built in rich communication touchpoints, avoiding the misaligned requirements that typically derail public-sector IT programmes.

Technology & Software

CRM implementation across a 500-person financial services firm

A mid-sized financial services firm used PRINCE2 Agile to roll out a new CRM platform. PRINCE2 provided the governance layer — Business Case, stage boundaries, and board reporting — while Scrum handled day-to-day delivery. This combined approach gave senior stakeholders the visibility they needed without disrupting the development team’s flow, and frequent releases meant value reached users every sprint.

PRINCE2 Agile in action When the vendor changed its pricing model mid-project, the Business Case was reviewed at the next stage boundary while the backlog was re-prioritised in the next sprint — keeping both the governance and the delivery moving without a full project reset.

Business Change & Transformation

Rolling out a new operating model across a retail chain

A national retailer used PRINCE2 Agile to deliver a store-operations transformation. PRINCE2 structured the overall project and kept the board accountable through stage boundaries, while agile techniques let teams pilot changes in a handful of stores, gather feedback, and iterate before a wider rollout. Requirements were captured as user stories and re-prioritised release by release.

PRINCE2 Agile in action Because what was delivered could flex while time and cost stayed fixed, the team dropped lower-value features and shipped the changes that mattered most to store staff first — improving adoption while still hitting the committed go-live date.

Review from Trustpilot
Lanie has been amazing. She talked me through all the different courses that can help me get into the IT world and now I’m doing my second course with Career Smarter I would highly recommend them if you want to get into IT they always get back to you on the same day when you make your enquiries and they are very helpful.
Review from Trustpilot
I have recently booked the PRINCE2 certification. The process was made extremely easy for me with the help of Lanie, who was the account manager I spoke with. My questions were answered within minutes and the process was sped up thanks to Lanie.
Review from Trustpilot
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a fantastic experience with Career Smarter from start to finish. Before enrolling on the CompTIA A+ course, they took the time to explain everything clearly, including what was included in the package and how the learning would work. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision, which I really appreciated.

They also showed me another training package that could be useful if I decide to continue my learning in the future, but there was absolutely no hard sell or constant follow-up. They simply gave me the information and left the decision entirely up to me, which made me feel much more comfortable.

To top it off, they offered me a discount, which was a lovely bonus.

The customer service has been excellent, they're knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Based on my experience so far, I would highly recommend Career Smarter to anyone looking to start or develop a career in IT.

Thank you Lanie for top customer service!

Which version is this?

This course covers PRINCE2 Agile version 1, which is retiring. With PeopleCert you can buy exam vouchers until 30 June 2026 and sit your exam until 31 December 2026. A new version 2 is expected during 2026. If you enrol now, you'll be able to certify on version 1 while it remains available — just make sure you sit your exam before the deadline.

Is the exam included?

Yes. The official PeopleCert PRINCE2 Agile Foundation exam is included in the course price — there's nothing extra to buy. You sit it online via PeopleCert's remote proctoring platform, and your account manager arranges the booking when you're ready.

Do I need PRINCE2 first?

No. PRINCE2 Agile Foundation has no prerequisites — you don't need an existing PRINCE2 qualification or any prior project-management experience. The course teaches you the PRINCE2 basics alongside agile concepts, so you can start from scratch.

How long does it take?

Most students complete the course in 3–6 weeks studying around 1–2 hours per day (roughly 20–25 hours of study in total). You have 12 months access, so you can work at whatever pace suits you — just keep the version 1 exam deadline of 31 December 2026 in mind.

What's the difference between PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile?

PRINCE2 is the core project-management method — its principles, themes and processes provide structure and governance. PRINCE2 Agile builds on that method and shows how to tailor it for agile delivery, blending it with agile ways of working such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean Startup. In short: PRINCE2 gives you the governance, PRINCE2 Agile adds the flexibility to deliver iteratively.
