INSIGHT

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.
ANECDOTE

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.
ADVICE

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.
