XP Forum in JHB

Yesterday we had an interesting event in Wits university  -  a presentation about implementing XP in customer contracts. Looks like making a contract can be a real challenge, but that’s the only way to go. The suggested model for XP: fixed cost contract. The idea is to disclose your costs and expected profit to the customer, set a target time and define the scope on a very-high level. The high-level definition of the scope allows both parties to negotiate on the specific module (requires lots of trust).  Disclosing your costs&profits is supposed to improve the trust relationship. The negotiation on modules is certainly something not clear enough, especially if the client in the beginning has no idea of what they want (which is often the case).

Otherwise, I feel quite scared, – probably writing software on demand is very risky. I’m rather looking at SaaS.

  3. My son knew he needed to stop smoking. He’d just seen his father die at 38 from lung cancer. That was the spark that made him realize that smoking could literally kill him. Unfortunately, every time he tried to stop, he would yield to temptation within a few days. I looked at using a nicotine patch and nicotine gum, but didn’t want him to use either. For me, it seemed silly to take the same substance that causes the addiction – nicotine.
    I searched for a natural and safe method to quit smoking: http://freshnewsday.com/stop-smoking.html
    How it works?

  4. I’m the only one in this world. Can please someone join me in this life? Or maybe death…
