This publication, 'Agile Project and Service Management - Delivering IT Services using PRINCE2™, ITIL® and DSDM® Atern®', offers practical guidance on how to deliver an IT Service by employing ITIL, PRINCE2, and DSDM Atern together and discusses all three approaches, provides an overview, and the benefits of each.

Agile Project Management: Running PRINCE2 Projects with DSDM Atern
This ground breaking book shows how users can combine the strength of both approaches so that they complement each other and create a new, best of breed framework suitable for all project environments. Based on PRINCE2â„¢ and DSDM Atern, the two most established and internationally recognised project management approaches, this title explores the differences between the two approaches before showing where they overlap and how they can be integrated. While DSDM Atern is a project management methodology in its own this new publications sits within the PRINCE2 suite of titles.

Improving Project Performance using PRINCE2 Maturity Model
PRINCE2 is cited as the most widely used project management method worldwide. But, while the PRINCE2 manual describes how to manage a single project it does not include any guidance on how to embed PRINCE2 into an organisation. Such guidance is now available: this publication describes the organisational processes and practices required for the effective implementation of PRINCE2 as an organisational standard. It includes guidance on assigning ownership, tailoring the method, training, integrating PRINCE2 with other management systems and establishing quality assurance mechanisms to gain a continuous improvement capability.

Focus on Skills Series Suite
The Focus on Skills Series Suite explores the various 'soft skills' that are demonstrated by effective project and programme managers, as the day-to-day co-ordination, motivation and communication aspects of project and programme management are very similar. The titles contain management theories and a step-by-step guide to how the key skills within each skill set can be demonstrated in different situations and is backed up by examples and anecdotes from project managers in different industry sectors in both the public and the private sector.
