Examiners
The PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner exam is an innovative project management certification, combining agile ideas with PRINCE2, the world’s most widely adopted project management methodology. This qualification is ideal for professionals working within project environments who utilize agile delivery methods or have governance responsibilities for such projects; additionally it provides invaluable experience for programme and project support roles.
Exams administered through PRINCE2 Agile Core Guidance can be open book, which means candidates may use the official PRINCE2 Agile Core Guidance manual during testing; however, sticky notes or loose leaf papers with additional notes are prohibited from use during the examination process. Questions will include both scenario-based questions as well as multiple choice.
In order to pass, it’s necessary to get at least 36 out of 60 questions correct within 1 hour of taking the exam. A good way to save time and maximize efficiency during this test is answering easier questions first and returning later for more difficult ones – this way you will make the best use of your limited time available.
