- Remediation roadmap template with prioritised improvement actions, implementation timelines, and responsibility assignments (RACI) tailored to both internal development teams and third-party vendor engagements
- Best-practice clause library featuring adaptable contract language for time-and-materials, incremental delivery, outcome-based pricing, and exit strategies, reducing legal friction and aligning incentives between buyers and suppliers

How This Helps You
This self-assessment equips compliance managers, IT procurement leads, and delivery directors with the tools to proactively audit and strengthen their approach to software development and contracting. By systematically identifying weaknesses, such as inflexible SLAs, misaligned incentives, or lack of iterative feedback loops, you avoid the consequences of inaction: failed agile transitions, vendor lock-in, scope creep, regulatory scrutiny, and project write-downs. You gain clarity on where your current methods fall short, what contractual adjustments are needed, and how to structure agreements that support rapid delivery without sacrificing control. The result? Faster time-to-value, improved vendor performance, and audit-ready justification for agile adoption across your portfolio.
Who Is This For?
- IT Procurement Managers who need to draft or review software contracts that allow for iterative delivery and changing requirements
- Agile Coaches and Delivery Leads responsible for scaling agile practices across teams but facing resistance due to legacy contracting models
- Compliance and Risk Officers ensuring that outsourced development meets governance, security, and performance standards

Choosing the Development Method and Agile Contracts Self-Assessment Kit isn’t just a purchase, it’s a strategic decision to future-proof your delivery model, reduce contractual risk, and lead with confidence in an era of continuous change. Professionals who delay modernising their development and contracting practices risk inefficiency, non-compliance, and obsolescence. This kit gives you the structure, evidence, and authority to act now.
