A methodologically sophisticated, comprehensive approach to
applying the Agile fixed-price contract to IT projects while
maximizing customer and supplier relationships
‘Interesting and necessary for IT managers and IT
lawyers.’
–Walter J. Jaburek, Dipl.-Ing., Dr. iur., Dr. techn.
Approximately 50 percent of software developers use Scrum, an
iterative and incremental development method for managing software
projects and product or application development, in their work. The
benefit of Scrum and other Agile methods is that they can address
shifts in a large project that traditional managerial methods
cannot.
Written by pioneers and leaders in the field of Agile and Scrum,
Agile Contracts is the only book dedicated exclusively to
the legal, procurement, and project management considerations of
Agile contracts. Providing templates, a toolbox, and examples of
Agile fixed-price contracts, the book presents an alternative
option to fixed-price, time-based, and supply-based
contracts–reducing the risk for both the supplier and the
customer with a contract that offers the possibility of flux and
flexible scenarios as a project progresses.
Agile Contracts features in-depth chapter coverage
of:
* The Agile Manifesto of 2001
* Agility from the perspective of procurement and the software
provider
* The problems with traditional fixed-price contracts and time
material contracts
* What the Agile fixed-price contract is and how it is set
up
* Tendering based on the Agile fixed-price contract
* How to negotiate an Agile fixed-price contract
* Special guidelines for the legal framework of an Agile
fixed-price contract
* Adaptable Scope System
* The Black Swan scenario
* Contracts and procedures for the featured methodologies
Especially applicable within highly structured business
organizations, Agile Contracts is a must-read for project
managers, agile practitioners, procurement representatives, and IT
lawyers.
