Knowledge base from the GAO Agile Assessment Guide (GAO-24-105506, 2023). Use for assessing and managing Agile software development in federal programs: the Agile Manifesto and framework family (Scrum, Kanban, XP, SAFe, DA, DSDM, Lean, DevOps); the three adoption perspectives (team dynamics, program operations, organization environment); requirements decomposition (epics, features, user stories, INVEST, MoSCoW, definition of done); Agile-aware federal contracting…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

<!-- argument-hint: [Agile framework (Scrum/Kanban/SAFe), adoption challenge, user story / INVEST, definition of done, product owner, contracting (SOO/PWS/SOW, modular), WBS / EVM / velocity, metric (CFD, lead time), auditor question, chapter number] --> # GAO Agile Assessment Guide (GAO-24-105506, 2023) **Source**: US Government Accountability Office (GAO) — US Government work, public domain | **Chapters**: 9 ## When to use Use this skill when you need to assess, govern, or explain **Agile software development in a federal program**: choosing among Agile frameworks, diagnosing why an Agile transition is stalling, structuring requirements and a backlog, writing or judging an Agile-aware contract, applying cost/schedule/EVM discipline to iterative work, picking meaningful metrics, or running an audit against GAO best practices.

How to install
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/gao-agile@sha256:771ec4ce37b02587The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260624.6dacc6c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
