Agile Governance and Audit ― An Overview for Auditors and Agile Teams

Many auditors are now encountering Agile management methodologies for the first time. This can cause problems for the audit process because the methodology is very different from traditional project approaches. Aside from the difficulties faced by the auditor, an ineffective audit can have a negative effect on an Agile project and might even harm the final outcome.

Written for auditors and Agile managers, Agile Governance and Audit bridges the gap between auditing requirements and Agile methodologies. It provides an overview of Agile for auditors and other risk professionals who have not encountered the approach before. The book also tells Agile teams what auditors and risk professionals need, and the questions they are likely to ask.

Each chapter includes hints and tips for auditors, and a selection of case studies illustrates the practical issues involved in auditing Agile projects.

This is an ideal book for any auditor encountering Agile, and Agile teams preparing for a management audit.
