Abstract
Digital government projects present a unique challenge forcing government entities to create effective management processes that can respond to the rapidly changing environment of information technology. This chapter provides an overview of an agile development and implementation framework that advocates incremental project development and implementation and allows adjustments to project plans based on changes in the environment. The agile development framework allows for faster development and implementation cycle and enables organizations to learn from their past projects and apply these lessons in the future.
