ELY, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, UK, June 26, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance Publishing (ITGP), the publishing imprint of IT security provider IT Governance, has announced the release of a new title: Agile Governance and Audit - An overview for auditors and Agile teams.

With the growth of Agile as a project management methodology, auditors are now encountering the ideas of Agile for the first time. Because it is so different from traditional approaches, many auditors struggle to get to grips with Agile projects. Similarly, many of those who work on Agile projects are unsure how to prepare for an audit – how do you demonstrate the status of a project that has constantly changing priorities?

In his new book Agile Governance and Audit - An overview for auditors and Agile teams, Chris Wright explains Agile project audits: what they are and how to make them better for everyone involved. Based on Chris’s own experience, the book offers suggestions and ideas for ways to make the whole process of auditing Agile projects much more effective and with better outcomes for all concerned.

Chris explains, “Agile Governance and Audit provides an overview of Agile for auditors or other risk professionals who may not have encountered this approach before. It also provides a perspective for Agile teams on what auditors and risk professionals need as key stakeholders in a project and the sort of questions they are likely to ask. It is based on my own opinions and experience. Some will read this book and disagree with some of these ideas, particularly if they have worked on different types of Agile projects to the ones I have been on. If I have generated some thought and discussion, I will have achieved my objective.”

Jamie Lynn Cooke (author of Agile Principles Unleashed) comments, “there are many things that I liked about Agile Governance and Audit, in particular the author's ability to energise the (sometimes dry) topics of auditing and software development with entertaining real-life examples and refreshing humour.”
