Evolution towards Hybrid Software Development Methods and Information Systems Audit Challenges
Ioannis K. Kirpitsas, Theodore Pachidis
Abstract
The key objective of this paper is to investigate the evolution of hybrid software development methods and highlight the main difficulties that arise with regard to information systems (IS) auditing. While technology firms today are under constant pressure to deliver software faster due to emerging needs worldwide, this continuous effort leads to innovative development models, apparently driven by practice. Since modern software development is neither pure linear phases progression nor agile, a challenge arises with regards to selecting the appropriate combination of approaches that serve to reach goals and assure value creation for organizations.
