contracts are a reality for many developers and firms
-
The most basic type of development contract is a time-and-materials approach
-
puts most of the financial risk on the customer
-
puts most of the risk on the developer
-
The most common alternative is the fixed-price contract
-
Fixed Profit approach
-
The parties agree in advance on a fixed profit
-
Regardless of how long the project takes, the development firm receives the profit plus the actual costs incurred. If the project completes early, both the customer and the developer benefit.
-
a hybrid contract
-
The contract includes both a fixed amount and an hourly rate
-
The developer makes an estimate of how long the work will take
-
The developer then multiplies this by their 'usual' hourly rate
-
to get an expected cost for the work
-
This amount gets broken into a fixed amount and a lower hourly rate
-
This approach is an attempt to share the risk more equally between developer and client
-
the phased development contract and the money for nothing, changes for free contract
-
'Money for nothing, changes for free' contract turns the advantages of the Scrum and agile development processes into a competitive advantage.
