Abstract

Agile methods have proven to be very beneficial in software development – the more complex the subject, the more valuable are agile methods. On the other hand, agile methods by their very nature do not seem to be suitable for achieving regulatory compliance with software products or services that ask for documentation and formal approaches. So, how can agile approaches be applied in a regulated environment? How do you connect the two worlds? Starting from the required “security” of an exemplary software product, approaches and experiences are discussed on how regulatory compliance (e.g. ISO/IEC27001, C5) can be achieved in agile software projects.
