Our Tip
Control your fixed-price projects with hybrid project management! Many fixed-price projects end up with overextended budgets and a negative contribution margin. Agile project management stand the test as a controlling system outstanding. Even so costumers like to use the classic project management with milestones and fixed schedules.
