PRINCESSPRINCESS is an acronym for PRINCE2 Run IN Collaborative
Environments Supporting Scrum". PRINCESS brings together two internationally recognised frameworks, PRINCE2 and Scrum, and teaches you a pragmatic approach to managing Scrum in a collaborative way that connects seamlessly with your organisation’s PRINCE2 governance expectations. |

While Scrum is the most widely used agile delivery framework in New Zealand, it lacks the project management practices that many senior managers typically expect when embarking on major projects or programmes of work. However, many of these same organisations are already using the PRINCE2 project management framework to provide this overall project control and organisational alignment.
The challenge for organisations new to Scrum is maintaining the management control provided by PRINCE2 while at the same time achieving the rapid delivery benefits of Scrum. At first these seem like two competing objectives.

Course Format
Our training focuses on facilitated group discussion, exercises and presentations. The workshop process is guided by a visual learning framework of structured mind maps. Each attendee is provided with an iPad for the duration of the workshop with an electronic copy of the PRINCESS material. Any additional workshop discussion topics are drawn up on flip charts and posted on the walls with attendees encouraged to personalise their learning by adding their own notes and photos to the standard material. A range of templates are also included for attendees to use on their agile projects. We also provide a PRINCE2 reference guide.
