Suggested Leadership Actions

Inspect

• Investigate the sources of the regulatory requirements in your company. Which requirements actually arise from current regulations, and which arise from other sources?

• Review the way in which documentation is being created in your environment. Could Agile practices be used to reduce the cost of documentation?

• Determine where you are currently drawing the Agile boundary for software development activities in your organization. Is it drawn in the best location?

Adapt

• If indicated by your documentation review, create a plan to reduce documentation costs by creating documentation more incrementally.

• Create a plan to redraw the Agile boundary for activities in your organization to better support your organization’s goals, including the goal of cost-effective documentation.
