The ITx 2016 Programme may change without notice
The use of agile methodologies in ICT projects is becoming increasingly common.
While there are many potential benefits to be gained from using agile methodologies in relation to certain types of projects, it can be a challenge to identify and manage legal risk.
Lawyers unfamiliar with agile methodologies can approach them with a fair amount of scepticism.
In this presentation, we consider how agile differs from waterfall from a legal perspective and what contracting challenges arise when using agile for ICT projects.
We address how contracts might be better drafted to address or mitigate identified issues and/or risksm and discuss some of the trends we are seeing in this space.
