Organisations find themselves in a rapidly changing business environment where their success and sustainability depend largely on their ability to respond to these changes timeously and effectively. Given that traditional project delivery elongated the time to respond to these rapid changes, organisations are opting for agile methodologies to deliver projects in order to keep abreast of changes. Agile project management allow for greater focus on business value, getting continuous feedback from customers and reducing release times. The processes are flexible and allows changes to be adapted if the customers or business needs are not met. However, this approach poses its own challenges when it comes to governing project delivery. It require control, responsibility and accountability.

The study seek to answer the question of what governance mechanism should be used in Agile Project environment to ensure responsibility and accountability toward the project outcome.  From a quantitative perspective, a survey was used to gather data from key role players in the agile project environment, and they were analysed using descriptive statistics. While agile software project delivery is a growing trend to deliver projects, it still poses many challenges to various business stakeholders in measuring the value derived. The study has proposed a conceptual framework for governance of agile projects.
