INTRODUCTIONAgile & Scrum
The Agile Manifesto
individuals and interactions over processes and tools
working software over comprehensive documentation
customer collaboration over contract negotiation
responding to change over following a plan
that is, while there is value in the items on the right,we value the items on the left more.”

AGILE CONTRACTSCustomer – Vendor Relationship
Agile ContractsHighlights Pros Cons
Fixed Cost • Fixed scope & price• Billing tied to milestones
• “Predictable” cost• Risk passed to
vendor (in theory)
• Not flexible• Can build what you
needed 12 months ago and not what you need now
• Lot of work upfront• Low visibility
T&M • Staffing, virtual team extension, etc.
• Billed by the hour, usually monthly
• Client in control• Simple to negotiate• Flexible and agile• High visibility
• Harder to manage performance
• Requires more involvement from client
Agile with SLA • T&M billing• Performance tracking,
with rewards and penalties per sprint
• All of T&M• Better performance
management
• Tweaking goals to keep them motivating but fair
• Client highly involved
Agile Contracts
• Focus on results: working software, early, continuous
• Focus on predictability: track velocity per team
• Encourage teamwork: velocity increase = team bonus
• Spot problems early: velocity decrease = company penalty
• Keep it simple!
