PRINCE2 Agile is not the same as PRINCE2, which was developed separately by Axelos Ltd to assist Agile project managers in effectively implementing Agile projects.

The scale of the project has no influence on using PRINCE2. Small projects can be effective if PRINCE2 standards are applied selectively. On the other side, a long number of PRINCE2 rules can be followed for large projects. In a nutshell, PRINCE2 is a scalable, highly customizable, and systematic process-based project management technique that can be used for any project.
