Abstract :
This experience report titled, `The main challenges of implementing fixed-price agile projects for corporate customers´ deals with the difficulties development teams encounter in delivering fixed-price agile projects for traditional corporate clients. The report also lays out the rationale for the agile approach to fixed-price contracts, and cites examples of successful implementations. The main challenges to successful delivery of agile projects under fixed-price contracts are as follows: Correct estimation of fixed-price agile projects; Misalignment between classical functional requirements and User Stories; Difficulty in handling change requests typical for agile projects with fixed budget; Differences between document-oriented and communication-oriented practices; Complexity of embedding specific agile projects into traditional (waterfall) customer environments; Tracking implemented scope and spent budget. The report also offers practical advice to address the aforementioned difficulties.
