I once had a Project Manager tell me that
managing a Fixed Price project was like jumping from a plane without
a parachute… both have little chance of success. All joking aside,
the fact remains that the number of companies using Fixed Price
projects as a strategy is rapidly increasing. While companies see
them as a method to “unload all responsibilities,” the reality is
they often do more harm than good, and tend to reflect a vendor’s
“worse case scenario.” The presentation “Fixed Price Project, Friend
or Foe?” will bring to the forefront the facts behind Fixed Price
projects and also detail an approach that has proven to increase the
chances of success… for everyone.
