19. Fixed price or time&materials?

20. Why is it worth?
Fixed price
 It's a model that reduces costs and risk to minimum while precisely defined client’s
expectation and optimized budget. The price of outsourcing and conditions of the
cooperation are specified in the agreement concluded before start of the cooperation. It is
dedicated to projects with predictable course that goals and objectives are clearly
defined in advance. It is also a good solution for projects in which it is not possible to
modify the budget or work schedule.

21. Time&materials
 It's recommended for large, complex projects, where the client’s business needs change
during the realization. The services are settled according to agreed rates per hour for the work
of particular specialists. The client regularly receives the reports with described progress - he
can control, modify and change the scope of the work during the realization.

22. Remember: choosing a right model should be always based
on previous analysis of the project specification!
