Agile Auditing Defined
- Agile auditing involves dynamic, iterative audit procedures allowing flexibility to adjust as risks evolve.
- It contrasts with traditional audits which follow rigid, sequential phases of planning, execution, reporting, and follow-up.
Agile Audit Workflow Example
- Mike describes dividing audits into 'epics' (audits) and 'sprints' (two-week increments covering scope components).
- Each sprint completes all audit lifecycle elements with continuous stakeholder feedback until done.
Define Success Metrics Early
- Define your audit "definition of success" including sprint progress, velocity, quality, stakeholder satisfaction, and continuous improvement.
- Regularly assess and refine your agile audit approach using these metrics.
