Original Abstract

Purpose of the article The paper provides a literature analysis of relationships between agile management methods and innovation management control. It considers a potential implementation of an Innovation Score-card framework within software development organisations. Methodology/methods The theoretical background is based on a methodical system approach: analysis, com-parison and synthesis. Analysis is used to acquire new knowledge and its interpretation. When processing sec-ondary data, the secondary analysis method was used. Professional literature, particularly foreign sources, pro-vided a source of secondary data. Synthesis was used designing an Innovation Scorecard solution within a short-term project that was based on a Scrum approach. Scientific aim The scientific aim of the paper is to gain knowledge and analyze the present status of agile man-agement and innovation management control as it pertains to the Czech and foreign professional literature. The objective of the article rests in the summary and presentation of results of a literature analysis of the relation-ship between those areas. In addition, the paper is also important in terms of innovation management, which is a field of science, and also of related disciplines, specifically strategic management. Findings On the basis of the literature review, the process for the design and implementation of an Innovation Scorecard within an IT organization is proposed. The Innovation Scorecard methodology does not represent a static framework but can be customized according to the specific needs of an individual innovation project. When applied in Agile environemnts measuring gates (check-points) can be removed to fit in with that particular environment.
