The main difference between the PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner and the PRINCE2 Practitioner is that PRINCE2 Agile combines the structure and governance of PRINCE2 with the flexibility of Agile: 

• PRINCE2: A prescriptive framework that provides clear guidelines for project structure and operation. PRINCE2 focuses on strategic-level project management and business justification. 
• PRINCE2 Agile: A blended approach that combines the structure of PRINCE2 with the flexibility of Agile. PRINCE2 Agile guidance describes how to tailor PRINCE2 elements for an agile environment. PRINCE2 Agile increases stakeholder confidence by providing tools to manage and react to change.

Whether PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner or PRINCE2 Practitioner is better depends on your needs and goals, including the type of project you're working on and your level of experience: 

• Project type: PRINCE2 Agile is better for projects that are likely to change or where requirements are unclear. PRINCE2 is better for large and critical projects. 
• Flexibility: PRINCE2 Agile is more flexible than PRINCE2. 
• Cost: PRINCE2 typically requires more upfront investment than PRINCE2 Agile, but can offer more long-term savings. 
• Complexity: PRINCE2 is more complex than PRINCE2 Agile. 
• Documentation: PRINCE2 requires more documentation than PRINCE2 Agile. 
• Risk management: PRINCE2 has a more formal approach to risk management, while PRINCE2 Agile takes a more informal approach. 
• Experience: If you've already passed a PRINCE2 exam, PRINCE2 Agile can build on your existing knowledge and make your PRINCE2 more versatile. 

PRINCE2 is a traditional project management methodology, while PRINCE2 Agile adds agile concepts like shorter implementation cycles, continuous improvement, and feedback. PRINCE2 Agile was introduced in 2015 to help people adapt PRINCE2 to agile projects.

The key features of PRINCE2 include:

• Linear and process-based: PRINCE2 moves projects through a series of predefined stages. 
• Project scope and budget: PRINCE2 includes core project management principles like outlining the project scope and budget. 
• Project manager: The project manager is responsible for organising and controlling the project. 
• Manage by exception: PRINCE2 projects have defined tolerances for each project objective. If a big issue occurs, the project manager will contact the project board immediately. 
• Critical path management: PRINCE2 helps to find and track the critical path to ensure projects are delivered on time. 
• Resource management: PRINCE2 helps to track progress, costs, and hours on tasks and subtasks.
