Agile Governance
Agile Governance is a framework for applying governance principles—such as oversight, compliance, risk management, and decision-making—within Agile development environments. It ensures that Agile projects align with organizational goals, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations while maintaining the flexibility and iterative nature of Agile methodologies. This approach balances the need for control and accountability with the adaptive, collaborative practices of Agile teams.
Developers should learn Agile Governance when working in regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare, government) or large organizations where projects must meet strict compliance, security, or reporting standards. It helps teams integrate governance processes—like audits, risk assessments, and policy adherence—into Agile workflows without sacrificing speed or innovation, ensuring projects deliver value while mitigating risks and meeting legal obligations.
