What is it?
The classic engagement model where the scope of work is agreed in advance.
The duration could be as short as one week or as long as one year.
The engagement is based on milestones, starting with discovery + initial design.
Client benefit the most where the commercial could also be split between discovery + initial design and the iterative delivery.
Who is it for?
Companies that are looking for partners to deliver specific goal.
Sometimes it is also being done through RFPs or tenders, managed by a dedicated team or task force.
With some simple tweaks like sharing the budget transparently, lots of wasted time could be removed from all parties.
