Find out how to get beyond Fixed-Price, Fixed-Scope contracts to have the product developed that you need, when you need it!
Are the “Agile Guys” in your company telling you that everything is different now that you are doing Agile software development or Scrum? Indeed, “Agile” has revolutionized how we develop software products. “Customer collaboration over contract negotiations,” they tell you. But, as a customer or supplier of software services, you know that there is too much at stake to work with just a verbal agreement.

Every project is a leap of faith. Agile frameworks, with their disdain for fixed-price, fixed-scope projects, feel like an even bigger leap of faith. At the start of a project you don’t know what you’re going to get at the end. That’s actually a good thing, and this book will explain why.
This book tells you what you need to know to create the right contract for your project. This book is not about legalese. Instead, it will enable you to:
- Understand the risks of a project and to mitigate those risks
- Understand enough of the software development process to be an informed customer
- Understand “Agile,” “Scrum” and the related terminology
- Understand the different contract types and the behaviors they encourage
- Create playing rules that enable customer and supplier to collaborate effectively and build the right product together
- Create a contract based on proven approaches to collaboration within or across company boundaries
I close with a list of recommendations for your next contract based on my experience with million-dollar Scrum projects. And check out the glossary for a list of over 60 commonly used terms in the Agile community.
