Chapter 1: Introduction Flashcards
What is PRINCE2 Agile?
PRINCE2 Agile shows how to adapt PRINCE2 for use with agile behaviours, concepts, frameworks, and techniques.
What does PRINCE2 Agile combine?
PRINCE2 Agile combines PRINCE2 project management with agile ways of working.
When is PRINCE2 Agile suitable?
Only for projects (not BAU). Agile alone can be used for both projects and BAU.
What does ‘business as usual’ (BAU) refer to?
Routine ongoing work like product maintenance or continual improvement, handled without project managers.
Why is it important to distinguish between project work and BAU work?
Because agile techniques may be applied differently depending on the context.
What are the key differences between project work and business as usual (BAU) work?
Project: Temporary, uncertain, team is assembled.
BAU: Ongoing, certain, stable team.
Example of each:
Project: Creating a new product or service.
BAU: Minor product enhancements by a dedicated team.
What is a project?
A project is a temporary initiative where a team is assembled to tackle a specific problem, opportunity, or change that cannot be handled as BAU. It involves more complexity and uncertainty.
How does a project differ from BAU in terms of team structure?
A project team is assembled for a temporary period, whereas BAU teams are stable and ongoing.
What is an example of a project?
The creation of a new product or service, requiring stakeholder engagement, a changing team, and management by a project manager.
How does project work transition into BAU?
At the end of a project, the product created moves into operational use, where it may be maintained and enhanced in a BAU environment.
