I want to run an Agile Development Audit on organization level so to identify gaps and areas for improvement. Where can I find Agile Audit material (Guide, questionnaires, surveys, report templates etc)? Have you used anything that you could recommend? Saving Changes...

If I understood your question correctly, you want to conduct a project level audit, a project that is following Agile, if so - you may want to start with study of project plan document that shall give you inputs about how and to what degree is project expected to follow Agile ceremonies and practices as they may vary, and come up with audit check list which shall be your tool for audit.
Also you may want to consider reviewing organization and team maturity in Agile when you audit a project.
Hope this helps. Saving Changes...

I read the question differently than Ashok. Dimitra makes no mention of any particular project, but is trying to make an assessment at the organizational level.
Dimitra, I would question why you are seeking to perform such an audit in the first place. Who is going to consume such a report? Are your teams not able to identify areas for improvement themselves, in their retrospectives and other interactions? Aren''t you already aware of the major problem areas in your organization?

I look for an assessment on organization level, not a specific project. The reason is that we want to evaluate the level of agile adoption and identify potential areas for improvement.
Teams are identifying certain topics but we want to assess the bigger picture.
The report is to be transparent to all: Management and teams. Saving Changes...

What metrics or measures are your teams capturing? Do you capture and share lessons learned from retrospectives across the organizations? Is there a PMO that helps coordinate? Have you done any feedback from product owners and business area stakeholders? How do they feel about your use of Agile? What has been the overall performance of the Agile teams?
State of Scrum report release recently has some data that suggests a PMO helps teams be more successful, and I''m guessing because it is a way to capture, share and transform using lessons learned and best practices. Saving Changes...

To me, "how Agile are we?" equates to "to what extent do we effectively implement the Agile PRINCIPLES and espouse the Agile VALUES." I''ve emphasized both words so we don''t focus on practices or tools; they are not the thing that makes us Agile. What makes us Agile is how we think, choose, and decide -- our mindset. I work from the list of principles and values to get a qualitative sense of how we''re doing. The 26 principles and 4 values are described in detail in my book The Agile Mind-Set, as are questions for self-assessment. Saving Changes...

I suggest that one does not want to audit against "agile"; one wants to audit how well one is achieving business goals and value. What does the organization expect to achieve from agile and how ell is that need being met? Saving Changes...
