Reconciling predictability and flexibility
The project manager of a custom software development company was responsible for specifying, estimating, bidding for and implementing fixed price software development projects.
He knew he had to be able to exactly specify, plan, estimate and execute his projects. And yet, he wanted to be able to respond to changes, to better respond to his customers' needs.
He told us he needed a predictable yet flexible software engineering method to be able to provide what his customers needed, on budget, on time, every time.
We worked with him and his team to implement fixed price projects. During these projects, we helped them to transition to a software development process that was both rigourous enough to guarantee a fixed schedule and budget, and agile enough to respond to changing customer needs.
The team met their schedules and budgets, while delivering high quality software on every project. Because they were able to respond to changes, the projects' outcome exceeded their customers' expectations.
They wouldn't want to work any other way. And neither would their customers.
