The Agile Way
Traditionally, there’s always a good contract in place in the business world, but in Agile, we need to be more flexible in our deliverables.
So, with this in mind, here’s something to ponder, “Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.” 🧐
In the Agile world, it’s important to remember that we are responding to a volatile and complex domain when it comes to customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
Contracts vs Collaboration
We all understand the value of contracts; yes, they’re vital. But, if things go wrong and we’re referring back to the contract, then we’ve already lost. 🤔
The focus should be on taking our customers along the journey so they understand the whys and hows when challenges arise.
Value of Collaboration in Agile
More importantly, they see our thoughtful decisions with the data at hand. 🤝 Remember, collaboration is key! We must keep the customer at the heart of the journey, engaging in valuable conversations to best move forward when inevitable setbacks occur.
