Most organizations use IT projects as vehicles to implement the IT strategy which contributes to achieving organizational strategic objectives and goals. Agile project management has been a potential solution to deliver successful IT projects instead of the traditional waterfall approach. This potential has resulted in organizations adopting agile project management to deliver IT projects on time and realise benefits. However, auditors especially those whose experience lies with more traditional and system development life cycle controls are struggling with how to audit agile projects. The problem addressed in this article is lack of an audit framework for auditing agile projects to ensure IT project success. The purpose of this article is to present the proposed conceptual framework for auditing agile projects that are implemented using Scrum methodology. The framework introduces audit processes in each process of the Scrum methodology. The quantitative research method used online survey questionnaire to validate the conceptual framework amongst IT professionals in South Africa. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. The research revealed that there was a significant correlation between the identified audit processes and agile project success. This research emphasizes on the need to take into account auditing agile project from its initiation to closure. This article contributes to the body of knowledge with regard to project auditing. Auditors can use the proposed framework to audit agile projects which are implemented using Scrum methodology to ensure successful completion of IT projects.

Abstract-Agile methodologies have been introduced as an alternative to traditional software engineering methodologies. However, despite the advantages of using agile methodologies, the transition between traditional and agile methodologies is not an easy task. There are several problems associated with the use of agile methodologies. Examples of these problems are related to (i) lack of metrics to measure the amount of rework that occurs per sprint, (ii) interruption of a project after several iterations, (iii) changes in the requirements, (iv) lack of documentation, and (v) lack of management control. In this paper we present Trace++, a traceability technique that extends traditional traceability relationships with extra information in order to support the transition between traditional and agile software development. The use of Trace++ has been evaluated in two real projects of different software development companies to measure the benefits of using Trace++ to support agile software development.

“…Several best practice software engineering models such as CMMI-DEV and SWEBOK will be used to design the traceability auditing yardsticks. Finally, This paper assess the applicability of the proposed auditing model based on five case studies by extracting auditing evidences that support the conformity of ISO 9001 traceability requirements and extends the evaluation that has been proposed in [13]. This paper is organized as follows.…”

Design and Assessment for Agile Auditing Model: The Case of ISO 9001 Traceability Requirements

Abstract-ISO 9001 demands of (software) organizations that a rigorous demonstration of their software processes be implemented and a set of guidelines followed at various levels of abstraction. More specifically, these organizations need to demonstrate that their software processes have been designed and implemented in a way that allows for a level of configuration and operation that complies with ISO 9001 requirements. Agile software organizations which want to be ISO 9001 certified must therefore provide evidence of ISO 9001 conformity, and they need to develop their own procedures, tools, and methodologies to do so. This paper proposes an auditing model for ISO 9001 traceability requirements that is applicable in agile (XP) environments. The design of this auditing model is based on the evaluation theory and includes the use of several auditing "yardsticks" derived from the principles of engineering design, the SWEBOK Guide and the CMMI-DEV guidelines for requirements management and traceability. This auditing model has been assessed based on case studies selected from the literature.Index Terms-Agile software certification, extreme programming, software process improvement, ISO 9001.
