When a project is using the agile method for developemnt, what should an IT auditor find when assessing the project?
Use of a capability maturity model (CMM)
Regular monitoring of task-level progress in compliance with the schedule
Enhanced use of software development tools to improve team productivity
Postiteration reviews that identify lessons learned for future use in the project
A key tenet of the agile approach to software project management is ongoing team learning to refine project management and software development processes as the project progresses. One of the best ways to achieve this is that the team considers and documents what worked well and what could have worked better at the end of each iteration and identifies improvements to be implemented in subsequent iterations. CMM places heavy emphasis on predefined formal processes and formal project management and software development deliverables, while agile software development projects, by contrast, rely on refinement of process as dictated by the particular needs of the project and team dynamics. Additionally, less importance is placed on formal paper-based deliverables, with the preference being effective informal communication within the team and with key outside contributors. Agile projects produce releasable software in short iterations, typically ranging from 4 to 8 weeks. This, in itself, instills considerable performance discipline within the team. This, combined with short daily meetings to agree on what the team is doing and the identification of any impediments, renders task-level tracking against a schedule redundant. Agile projects make use of suitable development tools; however, tools are not seen as the primary means of achieving productivity. Team harmony, effective communications and collective ability to solve challenges are of greater importance.
