Concurrently, the explosion of Big Data has provided these firms with unprecedented opportunities to enhance their decision-making processes, optimize operations, and gain deeper insights into market and customer behaviors. This review explores the integration of Big Data with Agile transformation in technology firms, emphasizing implementation strategies and best practices to maximize the benefits of both paradigms. Agile transformation involves shifting from traditional, linear development processes to iterative and incremental methodologies that facilitate continuous improvement and adaptation. Big Data, characterized by its volume, velocity, variety, and veracity, offers valuable insights that can drive more informed and strategic decision-making within Agile frameworks. The integration of Big Data into Agile practices can significantly enhance product development cycles, improve customer satisfaction, and streamline operations. The implementation of Big Data in Agile transformation requires a well-defined strategy that includes setting clear objectives, building a robust data infrastructure, and ensuring data quality and security. Establishing success metrics aligned with business goals is crucial for measuring the impact of Big Data initiatives. Building a scalable data infrastructure involves deploying advanced data collection, storage, and processing solutions that can handle the diverse and voluminous data typical of technology firms. Ensuring data quality and integrity is essential for deriving accurate insights that inform Agile processes. Integrating Big Data with Agile practices involves incorporating data analytics into Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives. This integration facilitates real-time feedback and continuous delivery, allowing teams to respond swiftly to changes and improve their products iteratively. Developing data competency within Agile teams is another critical aspect, requiring investments in training, upskilling employees, and hiring data science talent to interpret and leverage data effectively. Best practices for leveraging Big Data in Agile transformation include cultivating a data-driven culture that encourages data literacy and promotes transparency and collaboration across the organization. Advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) play a pivotal role in harnessing predictive insights and enabling proactive decision-making. Implementing advanced data visualization tools helps teams understand complex data patterns and trends, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions.

In today's dynamic and rapidly evolving technological landscape, traditional audit approaches often struggle to keep pace with the speed and complexity of IT environments. Agile methodologies, originating from software development, offer a flexible and iterative framework that can revolutionize IT audit practices. The paper begins by highlighting the limitations of traditional audit methodologies in addressing the challenges posed by modern IT systems. It then introduces Agile principles and practices, explaining how they can be adapted and applied within the context of IT audits. By embracing Agile, auditors can shift from rigid, linear audit processes to iterative, collaborative approaches that promote adaptability, responsiveness, and continuous improvement. Key components of Agile methodologies, such as sprints, stand-up meetings, and user stories, are explored in the context of IT audits, demonstrating how they can streamline audit planning, execution, and reporting. The paper also discusses the cultural shift required for successful Agile adoption within audit teams and organizations, emphasizing the importance of communication, collaboration, and a mindset focused on delivering value. Through case studies and real-world examples, the paper illustrates the tangible benefits of applying Agile methodologies to IT audits. These include increased audit coverage, faster identification of risks and issues, enhanced stakeholder engagement, and improved alignment with business objectives. Additionally, Agile practices enable auditors to adapt to changing priorities and emerging risks more effectively, ensuring audit activities remain relevant and impactful in dynamic environments. Despite its potential benefits, Agile adoption in IT audits presents challenges such as cultural resistance, skill gaps, and the need for organizational support and buy-in. The paper addresses these challenges and proposes strategies for overcoming them, including training and development initiatives, stakeholder engagement, and pilot projects. In conclusion, the paper advocates for the integration of Agile methodologies into IT audit practices as a means to enhance effectiveness, responsiveness, and value delivery. By embracing Agile principles and practices, auditors can better meet the demands of today's digital landscape, driving continuous improvement and innovation in audit processes. In this concept paper, I analyze how the adoption of Agile methodologies, particularly Scrum, can revolutionize IT audits.

Ghana is a country blessed with varied natural resources, but anthropogenic activities such as illegal mining, waste management, deforestation and agricultural practices have led to environmental degradation. Remote sensing technology therefore provides a less expensive means of monitoring these activities, assessing their effects on the environment, and providing guiding policy decisions. The aim of this current review is to provide a detailed analysis of literature on the application of remote sensing for environmental management and sustainability. Google scholar, Scopus (Elsevier) and Science Direct (Elsevier), were a few of the databases used for the review. The findings indicate that there are numerous remote sensing applications for sustainable environmental management in Ghana, including examining the state of rural roads, making a foundation map for visual reference, gathering images of earth from space, controlling forest fires, land use and land cover detection, climate change observation, estimating the likelihood of landslides, estimating forest resources, recognizing crop conditions, increasing farming precision, determining the moisture content of the soil, forecasting crop production, crop damage and crop progress. Based on the review it is clear that, the use of remote sensing in environmental management in Ghana has proven to be a valuable tool because it has aided in improving our understanding of environmental dynamics, guiding policy decisions and monitoring the environmental impact of human activities. Remote sensing will continue to play an important role in environmental management in Ghana as technology advances. \u0000Keywords: Remote Sensing, Ghana, Environment, Sustainable Management.","PeriodicalId":113413,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Science & Technology Journal","volume":"124 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141282032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
