What does all this mean to a PRINCE2 organisation?
• There is no need for re-accreditation (but an update for existing project managers may be useful)
• Existing documentation may need to be updated to reflect PRINCE2 2017 (but these are not major)
• P3Os may need to update their project information and templates to PRINCE2 2017 (but this can be done when a new project starts
• Agile projects operating under PRINCE2 have more guidance on how to interact
• There may be some period of parallel running with each version, but they can certainly co-exist in an organisation
