Introduction
This document is a contract for the following software project: [Project.Name]
As a member of the Agile Alliance, [Sender.Company] takes an approach to software
development parts from the standard processes you may be familiar with. These processes and
methods are designed to encourage a healthy, productive relationship between
[Client.Company] and [Sender.Company], leading to mutual benefit and satisfaction.
In short, we follow an agile software development process that adheres to the following 12
principles:
1. Customer satisfaction is the #1 priority at all times.
2. Welcome changes throughout the project, and support a flexible project design and
timeline.
3. Deliver final, functioning software as early as possible, and deliver functioning prototypes at
key stages during development.
4. Encourage open communication between business and technical staff on a daily basis.
5. Assign motivated, qualified individuals to the project team, and equip them with the
environment and tools that are necessary for success.
6. Recognize the benefit of face-to-face communication, and use it on a daily basis.
7. Functioning software is the primary measure of progress and final success.
8. Implement processes that make it possible to sustain consistent and reliable progress.
9. Remain dedicated to technical and design excellence.
10. Focus on simplicity, reducing the steps necessary to complete each task.
11. Include the execution team in the planning process, valuing their input regarding
architecture, requirements, and design.
12. Regularly review performance and results, with an eye on improving processes and
methods regularly.

In short, you can expect our software development process to be more fluid, adaptable, and
lean than is common in the software development industry. This will allow you to realize a final
product that meets or exceeds your expectations, and prevents you from being held financially
responsible for software that does not help you reach your objectives.

Project Timeline
One of the keys to Agile Software Development is an insistence on a fluid development cycle
that allows for and adapts to outside input and project changes during every phase of the

phase during a given software development project as quickly as possible, while maintaining a
strong focus on design and technical excellence.
This project will be segmented into the following phases:
Requirements Gathering
Technical & Design Specifications
Design Mockups
