This document is a guide to writing agile contracts. Unlike traditional contracts, an agile contract does not specify individual tasks to be completed by the Contractor. Rather, an agile contract specifies how the Client and Contractor interact, and how the Contractor is paid. The Deliverable Work performed for the contract is determined through an ongoing collaboration between the Client and the Contractor.
Agile contracts require a great deal of trust from both the Client and the Contractor. This trust is fostered through tight feedback cycles and well-defined responsibilities that both parties can expect from each other. More so than traditional contracts, an agile contract requires active participation from the Client.
