GAO Issues Agile Assessment Guide for Feds

▤ Summary

It is an update of GAO’s previous Agile Assessment Guide, which the watchdog agency first published in September 2020. The latest guide’s best practices focus on Agile adoption, execution, and control. This approach can reduce the risks of funding a program that produces outdated technology. GAO said the Federal government annually spends over $100 billion on IT, but agencies face challenges in developing, implementing, and maintaining their IT investments. “This guide is not meant to encompass all aspects of software development or program management.”
