PRINCE2 Agile and Agile Project Management (AgilePM) both have things in common. Some of them are:
Instead of using the term “difference” we would refer to uniqueness of PRINCE2 Agile® and AgilePM® as “features”, some of them are:
PRINCE2 Agile has its roots emerging from PRINCE2 2017 and (more so) SCRUM Guide Nov 2017. PRINCE2 Agile should be preferred approach for professionals and organisations having experience in IT (software, infrastructure) and/or organisational transformations. Most of the public sector organisations (at least in the UK) prefer PRINCE2 Agile.
AgilePM has its origins in Software Development (DSDM, previously Atern software development framework). However, it has evolved and emerged as a project management framework that is completely neutral to any domain or specialist knowledge. Hence it is equally suitable for use on projects initiated by local government as it is for software development projects.
None of the frameworks will be providing all the answers any project professional needs, there is no one shoes that fits all. Hence, there may be a need to sum up with an organisational project management framework according to the context and environment of an organisation which will provide much more stable and flexible ground to deliver projects.
It is highly recommended to go for AgilePM trainings and certifications before attempting to train yourself or your staff on PRINCE2 Agile.
Agile Programme Management (AgilePgM) certification is the natural next step for project managers having already achieved Agile Project Management (AgilePM®) Foundation and Practitioner certifications. Similarly, on the outset it appears that Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) is the ideal next step for project management professionals having already achieved PRINCE2 Agile® Foundation and Practitioner certifications.
However, both Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) and Agile Programme Management (AgilePgM®) certification are equally suitable for project management professionals looking to earn qualifications in programme management.
