1What is the primary purpose of PRINCE2 Agile?
A.To combine PRINCE2 project management governance with agile delivery techniques
B.To replace PRINCE2 with a fully agile framework
C.To provide a new certification for Scrum Masters
D.To eliminate the need for project boards in agile projects
Explanation: PRINCE2 Agile blends PRINCE2's governance (principles, themes, processes, roles) with agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup). It is a hybrid: PRINCE2 supplies the 'what to manage' and agile supplies the 'how to deliver.' Exam Tip: PRINCE2 Agile is an extension of PRINCE2, not a replacement.
2Which of the following is one of the five PRINCE2 Agile targets?
A.Be on time and hit deadlines
B.Maximize the scope delivered
C.Eliminate all project risks
D.Increase the size of the project team
Explanation: The five PRINCE2 Agile targets are: be on time and hit deadlines, protect the level of product quality, embrace change, keep teams stable, and accept that the customer doesn't need everything. These targets shape how tolerances are fixed and flexed. Exam Tip: 'Be on time' is target #1 because agile relies on fixed timeboxes.
3Which of the following is one of the five PRINCE2 Agile behaviors?
A.Transparency
B.Compliance
C.Hierarchy
D.Documentation
Explanation: The five PRINCE2 Agile behaviors are: transparency, collaboration, rich communication, self-organization, and exploration. They describe how agile teams should work together. Exam Tip: Memorize all five behaviors verbatim — exam questions often ask which is/is not on the list.
4How many sliders does the Agilometer have?
A.Six
B.Four
C.Five
D.Seven
Explanation: The Agilometer has six sliders: flexibility on what is delivered, level of collaboration, ease of communication, ability to work iteratively and incrementally, advantageous environmental conditions, and acceptance of agile. Each slider is rated to assess how well agile suits the project. Exam Tip: The Agilometer is a suitability/risk-mitigation tool, not a maturity model.
5Which Cynefin domain calls for a 'probe-sense-respond' approach with emergent practice?
A.Complex
B.Simple (Clear)
C.Complicated
D.Chaotic
Explanation: In the complex domain, cause and effect can only be understood in retrospect, so we probe-sense-respond and use emergent practice. Agile is especially well suited to this domain. Exam Tip: Map each Cynefin domain to its action: Simple = sense-categorize-respond (best practice), Complicated = sense-analyze-respond (good practice), Complex = probe-sense-respond (emergent practice), Chaotic = act-sense-respond (novel practice).
6In the PRINCE2 Agile hexagon, which three aspects are typically FIXED in an agile project?
A.Time, cost, and scope tolerances are fixed; quality, benefits, and risk are flexed
B.Time, cost, and quality are fixed; scope, benefits, and risk are flexed
C.Time, scope, and benefits are fixed; cost, quality, and risk are flexed
D.All six aspects are fixed and none are flexed
Explanation: In PRINCE2 Agile the hexagon fixes time and cost (and to a lesser extent scope's outer boundary), and flexes scope, quality, benefits, and risk within tolerance. The six aspects are time, cost, scope, quality, benefits, and risk. Time and cost are tightly fixed; scope flexes most of all. Exam Tip: The phrase 'on time, on budget, with the right things' captures fixing time/cost and flexing what is delivered.
7Which year was the Agile Manifesto published?
A.2001
B.1995
C.2005
D.2011
Explanation: The Agile Manifesto was published in February 2001 by 17 software developers at Snowbird, Utah. It states four values and twelve principles. PRINCE2 Agile builds on these foundations. Exam Tip: 2001 is one of the few specific dates worth memorizing for the Foundation exam.
8How many values and principles does the Agile Manifesto contain?
A.Four values and twelve principles
B.Five values and ten principles
C.Four values and four principles
D.Twelve values and four principles
Explanation: The Agile Manifesto contains four values (e.g., individuals and interactions over processes and tools) and twelve supporting principles (e.g., welcome changing requirements, deliver working software frequently). PRINCE2 Agile aligns with these. Exam Tip: Foundation does not require you to recite all 12, but know there are 4 values and 12 principles.
9Which of the following is a Scrum event (ceremony)?
A.Sprint Retrospective
B.Stage Boundary Review
C.Exception Assessment
D.Project Initiation Workshop
Explanation: Scrum's five events are: the Sprint itself, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. The Retrospective is for the team to inspect and adapt how they work. Exam Tip: PRINCE2 Agile expects you to recognize Scrum events even if they are not formally part of PRINCE2.
10Which of the following is a Scrum artifact?
A.Product Backlog
B.Project Initiation Documentation
C.Risk Register
D.End Stage Report
Explanation: Scrum has three artifacts: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and the Increment. The Product Backlog is the ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product, owned by the Product Owner. Exam Tip: Distinguish Scrum artifacts from PRINCE2 management products.

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation: Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorize the purpose statement of each of the seven practices and each of the seven processes — purpose questions are the single highest-yield group on the paper
2Learn which agile workshop does what: project canvas defines and prioritizes user groups, team planning defines team OKRs, and project closure sets guidelines for ongoing benefits realization
3Know the seven performance targets including sustainability, and the five integrated elements: principles, people, practices, processes and project context
4Be able to state the difference between 'being agile' (mindset) and 'doing agile' (processes) — the exam presents this pair reversed
5Check the version of every resource you revise from: anything describing 50 questions, a 55% pass mark, the hexagon, the five targets or the five behaviours is retired Version 1 material

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PRINCE2 Agile Foundation passing score?

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation (Version 2) requires 24 marks out of 40 — 60% — to pass. The exam is 60 minutes long, closed book, with 40 multiple-choice questions each worth one mark and no negative marking. It is delivered by PeopleCert online proctored or at a test centre.

Do I need PRINCE2 experience to take PRINCE2 Agile Foundation?

No. PRINCE2 Agile Foundation (Version 2) has no prerequisites and is open to anyone. The syllabus introduces both PRINCE2 Project Management and agile from first principles, although candidates already familiar with PRINCE2 7 or with Scrum will find the material easier.

What is the difference between PRINCE2 Agile Version 1 and Version 2?

Version 2 was released in May 2025 and aligns PRINCE2 Agile with PRINCE2 Version 7. Themes became practices, management products became artifacts, the Change theme became the Issues practice, and the six-cornered hexagon was replaced by seven performance targets including sustainability. Version 2 also adds organizational change management, the Agile Onion, agile scaling, eleven named roles, agile workshops, and guidance on AI. The exam changed from 50 questions at 55% to 40 questions at 60%.

Can I still take the PRINCE2 Agile Version 1 exam?

Only if you already hold a voucher. PeopleCert stopped selling PRINCE2 Agile (Version 1) vouchers on 30 June 2026, and the last day to take a Version 1 exam, including a Take2 resit, is 31 December 2026. Anyone booking now sits Version 2.

What is the Agile Onion in PRINCE2 Agile?

The Agile Onion is a five-layer model of agility. From the outside in the layers are processes, practices, principles, values and mindset. Outer layers are visible and easy to copy but make little difference alone, while the mindset at the core is hardest to change and most decisive — which is why adopting an agile framework on its own does not deliver the benefits.

Does PRINCE2 Agile Foundation certification expire?

Yes. PRINCE2 Agile Foundation (Version 2) is valid for three years. Renewal requires 20 CPD points maintained through PeopleCert membership, or completing another qualification in the same product suite. The lifetime validity that applied to older certifications no longer applies.
