Agile Contracting and Budgeting
Most of us are familiar with the value statement from the Agile Manifesto "Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation". Although we value collaborating and working with customers more than negotiating contracts, we still have to write contracts. In the meanwhile, agile contracts are meant to make life easier for both suppliers and customers, and the main target of agile contracts should always be to enable and foster collaboration between both parties.
In this workshop, attendees will learn everything they need to know about agile contracts, how they differ from traditional contracts, what activities are done during the contracting phase of an agile project and much more. In addition, attendees will get the opportunity to practice and write contracts on their own through simulated case studies.
