As the use of Agile increases so too does the need for appropriate governance. The answer does not lie in standard Agile methodologies.
There is growing interest in exploiting Agile development across both the public and private sector. But concerns about governance are either restricting its use to non-critical projects or resulting in its use for technical delivery only within a more traditional waterfall based project. Either way, the intended benefits of Agile are not being realised by many organisations.
Can any control be imposed without losing the inherent flexibility of the Agile approach?
