In the early 20th century, Norwich had major manufacturing industries including shoes, clothing, joinery, structural engineering, and aircraft design and manufacture.Norwich also has a long association with chocolate making, but all chocolate manufacturing operations have since moved to York.The city has a long tradition of brewing and while major breweries have moved elsewhere, many privately owned microbreweries remain today.
In 1945 the city was also the intended target of a brief V-2 rocket campaign, though all these missed the city itself.Many housing developments in the private and public sector took place after the Second World War, partly to accommodate the growing population of the city and to replace condemned and bomb-damaged areas. It has been said that more of Norwich’s architecture was destroyed by the council in post-war redevelopment schemes than during the Second World War.

PRINCE2 Agile FAQs
PRINCE2 Agile helps facilitate lean-agile product development without sacrificing the reliability offered by traditional project management.PRINCE2 Agile allows you to focus on management and product delivery with a suite of agile tools designed to help you manage and react to changing requirements.PRINCE2 Agile has been developed in collaboration with veteran agile practitioners around the world. It works with all establish Agile approaches and agile tools, allowing easy integration into existing agile project management frameworks.PRINCE2 Agile provides training and guidance highly focused on the agile environment. Earning your PRINCE2 Agile certification will teach you how project managers can remain a relevant and important part of agile product development and how a project manager can collaborate with staff in standard agile roles.
AXELOS calls PRINCE2 Agile "the world's most complete agile project management solution."Based on the ideas first outlined in the Agile Manifesto, PRINCE2 Agile project management was developed in response to the changing nature of project management practices, new technologies, and new ways of thinking.PRINCE2 Agile allows project managers to easily integrate Agile practices, tools and ways of working into existing project management frameworks without costly revisions to project lifecycles without the need to launch enterprise-wide change initiatives.PRINCE2 Agile can also benefit agile managers who desire the reliability, governance, and oversight of the PRINCE2 method in complex projects.Candidates who enrol in a PRINCE2 Agile Foundation course will learn how modern concepts aid the management of successful projects. Topics include the use of MoSCoW prioritisation, Kanban, Scrum and other tools, as well as unique agile roles such as the Scrum Master and Scrum Product Owner.Candidates who attend PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner training will learn to seamlessly integrate agile practices with PRINCE2 governance and controls in agile environments.
PRINCE2 is a customer-focused project management methodology. It offers a set of principles, themes, and processes that helps organisations weigh the costs and risks of initiating a project. It helps the ongoing management of projects to ensure they remain a worthwhile investment.Agile approaches do not focus on the value or management of a project as a whole. Instead, they focus on the development level, ensuring that any given product or service is delivered in the most efficient manner possible through an iterative cycle of development, testing, and analysing customer feedback.While PRINCE2 enables the customer to remain focused on the project’s original business goals, Agile approaches are very responsive to changes in the project environment and customer requirements.Utilising Agile approaches on PRINCE2 projects allows project managers to combine the structure and governance of PRINCE2 with the flexibility and responsiveness of Agile. PRINCE2 Agile training helps PRINCE2 project managers adapt their practices in agile ways.
Yes. Despite the common misconception that PRINCE2 struggles to adjust to changing business requirements, the PRINCE2 framework is, in fact, easy to adapt and tailor to suit any project environment.PRINCE2 is sometimes described as having a prescriptive ‘waterfall’ approach, whereby requirements are documented and approved before moving to the design, build, and testing phase. This is, however, incorrect. PRINCE2 assumes that on many projects, requirements emerge and evolve as the project continues.PRINCE2 manages project-level changes using its ‘change control’ approach. Smaller changes at the development level can easily be managed using the prioritisation techniques common in Agile approaches.PRINCE2 Agile elaborates on the tools team leaders, and project managers can use at the development level to facilitate faster autonomous development.
It’s not accurate to compare PRINCE2 and Agile as equivalent project management solutions. For one, agile has nothing to do with project management. Instead, it focuses squarely on issues encountered by individuals and small teams at the development level.PRINCE2, on the other hand, is generally more concerned with the ‘big questions’ like “Should we do this project?” “How do we avoid risks and failure” or “How can we be sure that 6 months from now this product will still be desirable?”PRINCE2 and Agile are not competing methods. PRINCE2 Agile was developed specifically to show that they are complementary approaches to different problems.
