Using cobit indicators for measuring scrum-based software development

The aim of this paper is to determine the level of compliance of AGIT model, developed during our previous research for measuring Scrum-based software development, with the information systems auditing criteria. For this purpose we use COBIT model. After a short introduction of Scrum, AGIT and COBIT, we perform comparison analysis of their indicators for software development. Then we upgrade AGIT model with the selected COBIT indicators. In order to improve the clarity of the model, we present its structure using IT Balanced Scorecard. Finally we suggest possible further research.
