CHAPTER 10: FURTHER EXPANSION OF PRINCE2 AGILE
All of the PRINCE2 Agile descriptions throughout this book refer specifically to project work, i.e. project delivery, project teams, project stages. This is based on the understanding that the work in an organization can generally be divided into two categories:
The PRINCE2 Agile framework in the AXELOS official guide is intended for project work, where there is an official starting point (i.e. project initiation), review opportunities as the project is progressing (i.e. iterations, releases, and stages), and an official point of completion (i.e. project closure), with the project outputs, as appropriate, transitioning to BAU activities.
There is, however, potential for organizations to structure their BAU activities to function as project work,41 for example:
With this approach, organizations can leverage PRINCE2 Agile to achieve integrated governance and delivery efficiencies in their BAU work at an equivalent value to what PRINCE2 Agile provides for project work.
