You've been running projects for several years. You've been in sprints, stakeholders and changing deadlines, and you've got it down. But why do so many seasoned project managers fail to walk out of the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam feeling completely shaken up?

But the truth is, running a project and knowing how to use PRINCE2 governance in conjunction with Agile delivery are two different sets of skills. In reality, you change your methods as circumstances call for. For the exam you will be expected to identify the PRINCE2 principle or Agile concept that fits a particular scenario and be able to explain why. This can confuse many competent PMs.

There are some repeated themes in the exam. You can anticipate questions related to Agile behaviours, how these fit into the structure of PRINCE2, tailoring PRINCE2 to the specific context of a project, the governance expectations within each method, and the roles and responsibilities in each method, in relation to communication and the choices and applications of different delivery approaches. The difficulty tends to lie in scenario based questions which require judgment, rather than definitions to be recalled.

It is in the place where a common error emerges. Many candidates think that if they take the hands on experience or read the official manual carefully, they are able to answer the questions. Then they sit a scenario question and they find they are second guessing themselves, since it is an exam on application, not memory. It is the difference between knowing the facts and using them at exam time that gets students into trouble.

Changing that is a simple task of solving realistic PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam questions before your test date. It lets you know where you have knowledge and where you have familiarity. This is honest feedback and it gives real confidence rather than false confidence.
