Scope management is an emerging concept whereby a "scope manager" works with software acquirers and software suppliers to alleviate the scope management related ills that plague the majority of software development projects as highlighted by such studies as the Standish Group CHAOS report and others. Scope management creates a level playing field for both customer and suppliers and facilitates an equitable contracting and payment arrangement that is flexible enough to allow for customer driven scope changes at the same time as providing payment for work completed by the software supplier, by introducing unit pricing for software delivery.

In this webinar, join 4SUM Partner, Director and Quality Plus Technologies President Carol Dekkers and find out what is involved in the formalized northernSCOPE concept and how software development programs and projects throughout the world are gaining remarkable benefits based on its processes and best practices.
