The Practitioner qualification aims to demonstrate that you can apply and tailor PRINCE2 Agile in a scenario. A successful Practitioner candidate should be able to start applying the method to an actual project but may need to be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Your project management expertise, the project's complexity, and the support provided for using PRINCE2 Agile in your work environment will all impact what you can achieve.

Who is it aimed at

This qualification is aimed at Project Managers with a current PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification. It is also relevant to other key staff integrating project management with product delivery. An understanding of the agile concepts within PRINCE2 Agile will also apply to those with governance responsibilities for projects using agile delivery approaches and those involved with the program and project support functions. It will also be of interest to program managers with MSP® who will need to understand not only how the program relates to projects and how projects relate to the delivery mechanism.
