More and more, customers are requesting to see business value earlier in a project, according to Alex Adamopoulos, chief operating officer of Exigen Services, a San Francisco-based software outsourcing services company with multiple global delivery centers. With agile methodology, he said, "[customers are] seeing working software more frequently, touching the features, so they can pinpoint immediately if a feature needs to be corrected or needs to be revised."

Outsourced development projects face many of the same obstacles as in-house projects -- in particular, time and cost overruns caused by scope creep, and products that don't meet expectations. Who should take the hit for these problems -- the customer or the contractor?
It's a source of contention that two outsourcers are addressing through agile methodology. The result? Shared risk, more predictability, and products that better meet customer needs through ongoing collaboration.
For Morpheus Ltd., a U.K.-based developer of e-business applications and an IBM Business Partner, the traditional development approach (with a fixed time and price) was too rigid for e-commerce projects that can change frequently in response to market changes.

"E-commerce designs are constantly changing, and they're difficult to manage," explained Joanna Read, marketing director at Morpheus. "We'd price it at one point in time, and three months later the project doesn't resemble that."
Typically, she said, a lead technical person would determine the time and effort required, price it, and Morpheus would develop a project plan with milestones and provide weekly status reports to the customer. "It was fairly traditional," she said, "leaving developers pretty much to work on their own unless there was a problem."
