The paper will highlight a proposed framework for introducing agile practices into a project management methodology for information technology projects in a research university setting that is subject to periodic regulatory auditing. The author was tasked to develop a workable framework that would allow for the successful execution of information technology projects while adhering to project management methodology with agile practices inserted specifically to address a variety of project bottlenecks. The information technology project in this work is an actual project that aided the research administration function of the university whose stakeholders are adverse to any project management methodologies that would impede research or progress but must comply with regulatory standards.
