Title
Adventures in Agile Contracting: Evolving from Time and Materials to Fixed Price, Fixed Scope Contracts
Abstract
For Info Tech, Inc., the transition to Agile practices three years ago lead to a change in the way we collaborate and contract with our long term, mostly government customers. Our evolution covered Time and Materials (T&M) contracts, a Hybrid of T&M and Fixed Price and most recently a Fixed Price, Fixed Scope, Fixed Schedule contract that supports Agile development. Our goal has been to meet our customer’s needs for predictable results while maintaining our commitment to agile practices. Key success factors include developing a responsive contract modification process that allows for quick change management and identifying non-tangible scope deliverables beyond the software components.
