The decision was made by JMP management that a certain critical development in the overall project will be subcontracted-out to a vendor. JMP has issued a six-month cost plus fixed fee contract for that development, and you are the vendor's project manager. The approved JMP budget for your development is $500,000. A recent Earned Value Analysis that your firm (the vendor) has done shows that you will complete the project four weeks ahead of time, thus depriving your firm of $80,000 of billable time. Among your options are: 1. Since it was the approved budget, go ahead and bill JMP for the entire $500.000. 2. Inform JMP of the project status and completion date, and ask if they'd like to add any features to account for the monies spent. 3. Inform JMP of the project status and completion date. 4. Bill JMP for the $500,000 by adding more work at the end of the project.

In 2005, British Telecom (BT) took a big risk: the company dropped its use of the waterfall system development process and embraced agile development. Previously, BT had outsourced the gathering of system requirements to a third company, which would typically take three to nine months to meet with customers and stakeholders and create a requirements list. Next, the project would move back to BT where programmers often struggled to interpret the requirements and then develop and test the system within 18 months — although some projects needed more time. In late 2005, however, BT took only 90 days to roll out a new Web-based system for monitoring phone traffic. The new system allowed traffic managers to change switches and other physical devices more quickly in order to handle shifts in load along BT’s telecommunications network. The success of this initial project reverberated throughout the IT world, as BT became the first telecommunications giant to adopt agile development—sometimes…
