Agile Insights & Glossary

How do Agile Contracts Work?

Agile contracts abandon fixed-scope, fixed-price models in favor of time-and-materials, target-cost, or phased delivery agreements that allow for shifting requirements.

Traditional vendor contracts lock in requirements upfront. When market conditions change, neither the vendor nor the client can pivot without massive legal friction and change requests.

Agile procurement involves collaborative agreements where the vendor and client share risk. Work is delivered in short increments, and the client has the option to terminate the contract or pivot the scope at the end of any sprint, ensuring they only pay for valuable software.
