The tendering of digital projects with meticulously formulated requirement or functional specifications taking months? That is all in the past.

Agile project management saves time, budget, and nerves, and continuously adapts to the insights gained as the project progresses. What is now state of the art in the private sector should not be closed/off limits to the public sector. Because of the complicated requirements of the awarding procedure, public clients often shy away from agile projects. Together with the experienced digital provider Schaffrath Digitale Medien, which explains the practical side of agile programming, HAVER & MAILÄNDER Rechtsanwälte answer legal questions about the awarding of contracts for agile software projects in a short article and point out ways of implementation.

Bettina Backes, specialist attorney for IT law, Dr. Alexander Hübner, specialist attorney for public procurement law and Carolin Nemec, who works as a lawyer specialising in IT and public procurement law, provide support in the preparation of tender documents for agile projects.
