Abstract

Agile software development governance depends on successful monitoring and control mechanisms. Software development managers generally are unaware of the complete set of monitoring and control mechanisms that are available to them, leading to uninformed decisions with unsuccessful outcomes. This paper presents a list of key process indicators and a list of interventions that software development managers require for successful governance of agile development processes. The list is based on three case studies of product software companies that have successfully developed and sold software for several decades.
