The benefits of agile risk management in IT projects delivered through agile methodology

Digital transformation and external digital disruption require South African financial services to deliver large IT software projects. Banks adopted new ways of working such as using an agile methodology to ensure IT Projects are delivered faster-to-market and early client involvement. The challenge is that risk management functions are not mandatorily involved before and during the execution of IT projects by the Scrum teams who deliver these IT projects, which means that other sources of risk and opportunity risks may not be identified early.
