A project team has decided to switch to an agile approach to develop a replacement for an existing business application. Which of the following should an IS auditor do FIRST to ensure the effectiveness of the project audit?
A.
Understand the specific agile methodology that will be followed.
B.
Interview business process owners to compile a list of business requirements.
C.
Compare the agile process with previous methodology.
D.
Identify and assess existing agile process controls.
Option D (Identify and assess existing agile process controls) assumes that the existing agile process controls are already established and known. However, without understanding the specific agile methodology being implemented in this project, it is premature to assess existing controls effectively.
Therefore, understanding the specific agile methodology that will be followed is the FIRST step for an IS auditor to ensure the effectiveness of the project audit when a project team switches to agile development for a replacement business application.
