description: The GAO Agile Assessment Guide presents best practices for adopting
and implementing Agile software development methodologies in federal agencies.
This guide addresses the need for improved management of IT acquisitions and
operations, an area highlighted on the GAO High Risk List. The federal
government's annual IT expenditure exceeds $100 billion, with a history of
challenges in IT investment development, implementation, and maintenance. The
guide serves as a resource for federal auditors, organizations, and programs
either adopting or evaluating their Agile practices. It aims to enhance the
transition and management of Agile programs in government settings.
