Webinar (free): Working in “contract” mode

The way we look at it, we are always using some Waterfall ideas to get our work done. At least some.

Let’s deal with one situation: when we are working in contract mode. Meaning: we have a contract (scope-date-budget) or there is an implied contract.

Please join us! Let’s discuss.

Here are a few subtopics we hope to discuss.

• It may be more waterfallish than we want.
• Maybe more up-front work than agile usually does.
• A lot is attitude: ours and theirs.
• A contract means: “I don’t trust you.”
• Build trust
• Plan initially
• But get them to understand that change happens, and you must re-plan.
• They (Cust + Bus side) get to engage on the trade-offs
• By getting better (and for other reasons), the trade-offs may lead to MORE success
• 80-20
• Use BVPs. Learn!
• Pull in the Business Side & Customers

We think these ideas can help.

We will have an hour. Let’s help each other as much as we can in the time box.
