13 What is an Agile project? Feasibility & Foundation Define Refine Create Review

14 Auditing Agile Projects What are we looking for? Traditionally, we would audit against documentation, project output and activities that have already taken place For agile projects, we assess The organisation and the planning, and indeed if the principles are being followed How controls are implemented How quality is being applied The accuracy of its performance measurements We continue to look at data evidence in terms of past events, project experience and team feedback but, in particular, we look at what is going on now.

15 Auditing Agile Projects Approach One-to-one interviews or group interviews? Formal interviewing or observation? When? For an entire sprint or overlapping sprint finish/start? Key Tips The right skills (of the auditor) Experienced agile practitioner Understanding of risks and controls Planning and preparation Look at Sprint 0 Feasibility and foundations: outline requirements, structure, design Training and methodology: team roles and competency Implementation The collaboration: sponsor, product owner, development team Sprint review and progress: planning, review, retrospective Flexibility for change Timing Too soon, and the process may not have time to mature Too late, and it will become an exercise for lessons learned Mid-project: perhaps an independent view to accelerate change
