| Abstract: | Globalization and digitization have driven large financial service providers to adopt scaled agile methodologies like the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Large Scale Scrum (LeSS), and Disciplined Agile 2.0 (DA 2.0) to enhance speed and flexibility. However, this shift introduces new challenges, particularly for large financial service providers traditionally reliant on rigid control frameworks such as the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) and the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Agile practices often lack explicit risk management mechanisms, leading to potential gaps in managing risks within solution architecture documentation—a key component of Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM). This research examines the integration of control activities into the agile solution architecture documentation process to improve risk management. Through a qualitative field study at a large financial service provider, key components, risks, and effective control activities were identified. The findings offer practical insights to improve risk management in scaled agile environments, bridging the gap between traditional control frameworks and agile methodologies, and ensuring agility in solution architecture documentation while maintaining robust risk management. |
