Agile Contract Model

TYPO3 Agile contract model

The TYPO3 Agile contract model is a flexible way of managing projects. Instead of sticking to a fixed plan, it allows for changes and adjustments as the project progresses. This model focuses on collaboration and continuous improvement. How it works:

  • Flexibility: plans can be changed based on new information or feedback. This ensures that the final product meets current requirements.
  • Collaboration: Teams work closely with clients and ensure that everyone is on the same page. Regular meetings and updates keep communication clear.
  • Incremental delivery: Instead of waiting for the entire project to be completed, small parts are completed and delivered regularly. This helps to identify problems early and make improvements.
  • Customer involvement: Customers are involved throughout the project, providing feedback and making decisions. This results in a product that better meets their needs.

Using the TYPO3 Agile contract model can lead to a more successful project, with a final product that truly meets the client's expectations.

With an agile contract model, the full scope is not agreed at a fixed price; instead, a framework of budget, period and goals is set. Within this framework the team develops in short cycles, the sprints, and regularly delivers results that can be reviewed. The client prioritises what is implemented next.

This has advantages: wishes that change during the project can be included without negotiating an amendment every time. Misdevelopments are recognised early because you see and assess every iteration. Monthly or fortnightly reviews with clear documentation of progress are typical.

Transparency is the foundation: binding key points such as team size, hourly rates and maximum duration are fixed in the contract while the concrete scope remains flexible. Also clarify how changes, acceptance and termination of the contract are regulated.

For TYPO3 projects the model is particularly suitable for relaunches, extensions and ongoing development. For clearly defined small projects, a fixed price can still make sense. We are happy to advise which model fits your project.
