A Square Peg in a Round Hole: Agile and fixed-price contracts

▤ Summary

I’m blogging the conference Agile Approaches for Delivering Business Value • Round hole: Fixed-price contracts usually come with a deadline and strict limits on how much scope change can occur – often none at all. In this presentation we’ll explore the value of those options and what has to change for agile to work in a fixed-price world. This because detailed design, implementation, testing and integration of a feature only happens close to agreement to include it. (implies the work to reduce dependencies between lumps of scope) Agile projects can reach minimum acceptable feature-set earlier. Doing the Must’s first controls risk… Iterative development (as opposed to incremental) You can prove you are making progress on an Agile project.
