Agile Contracts: Creating and Managing Successful Projects with Scrum

Last year Andreas Opelt, Boris Gloger, Ralf Mittermayr and Wolfgang Pfarl published "Der Agile Festpreis", a book on the issue of contracts that positively strengthen the cooperation between customer and supplier in agile projects. It's an issue which becomes ever more important as an increasing number of Software Development projects are handled by using Scrum. We are very proud to announce that Wiley has now published the English edition!"In the contract development process, as in any development process, clients, customers, and managers have a vested interest in meeting time, budget, and performance requirements. In Agile Contracts, the authors tackle these concerns head on, presenting an agile contract that they have developed, which reduces the risk for the both supplier and the customer. This highly useful book compares and contrasts the new, agile contract with existing fixed-price or time-and-material contracts and clearly demonstrates how Agile/Scrum can be applied to the contract negotiation process."
