With non iterative processes that don’t regularly produce a product in a stable state, you just don’t know how complete it is. Completing fixed price projects is a lot about risk management. This presentation explains how to identify and minimize the risk in the bidding, planning and execution stages of a fixed-price, fixed-scope software development project.
