Description

This work is the definitive guide for IT managers and agile practitioners. It elucidates the principles of agile risk management and how these relate to individual projects. Explained in clear and concise terms, this synthesis of project risk management and agile techniques is illustrated the usage of the major methodologies such as XP, Scrum and DSDM.

Although the agile community incessantly cites risk management, research suggests that risk is frequently narrowly defined and, at best, implicitly treated, which in turn results in an inability to make informed decisions concerning risk and reward and a poor understanding of when to engage in risk-related activities. Moreover, the absence of reference to enterprise risk management means that project managers are unable to clearly articulate scope or tailor their projects in line with the wider expectations of the organisation. Yet the agile approach, with its rich toolset of techniques, is very well equipped to effectively and efficiently maintain the risks that arise in projects. Alan Moran addresses the above issues by proposing an agile risk-management process derived from classical risk management but adapted to the circumstances of agile projects. Though his main center of attention is on the software development process, much of what he describes could be applied to other types of IT projects as well.

This book is intended for any individual who is serious about balancing risk and reward in the pursuit of value for their stakeholders, and in particular for those directly involved in agile software development who share a concern for how risk must be managed. Even as a thorough background in risk management isn’t presumed, a basic level of familiarity with or exposure to agility is helpful.
