What’s happened since?• Agile (esp. for web) now
mainstream:– Scrum, Sprints, early delivery of working
software, self-governing teams
• Old certainties don’t fit agile well:– Full business case/requirements specs,
Gantt charts, project boards
• Agile business transformation unproven:– Some applying agile in non-IT areas– But private sector case studies hard to
find
• Emerging ideas:– New roles: Digital Leaders,
Service and Product Managers– Hybrid approaches (e.g. SCRUM +
Prince2)– Value assurance rather than just
compliance– Procurement, skills and
approaches need to change, and the UK government is responding
• Cloudstore, Government Digital Service, Centres of Excellence, digital strategies
Summary• Two years ago we looked at agile in the private
sector and produced a review– Early days, focused on project governance and agile teams
• There is now a realisation that a new approach to governance for agile is needed– Change is now about digital and business transformation,
not just IT, and new models and principles are needed
