The document discusses Joint Application Development (JAD) methodology which involves taking users, executives, and developers off-site to work out project details. It also discusses the risks of scope creep, where additional features are added during a project. A good change order procedure is recommended to manage any scope changes, and should involve a written request and time to consider changes. Source code escrow is described as depositing source code with a neutral third party to protect a company if a developer goes bankrupt.

that takes ends, users, executives, tech lawyers, and
developers off-site, away from distractions, for meeting

along the way.

 A GOOD AGREEMENT FOR MOST TECH PROJECTS WILL USUALLY INCLUDE
A CHANGE ORDER PROCEDURE
 THEORETICALLY THE CHANGE ORDER PROCEDURE IS THE ONLY METHOD
IN WHICH THE PROJECT SCOPE IS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE
Changing Orders

 Source code is a must have when rewriting software
 If your developer goes bankrupt and you don’t have the source
code t would be fair to day that you have a disaster in the
making
 With the source code, a competitor could creator a competing
work without incurring all of the development coast of the
original developer.

8.  Source code escrow is when you deposit the source
code and other information with a neutral third party.
 Other information that a trained a computer
programmer need to work with a course code

 Minor league escrow arrangements is appropriate when the size of your
investment is smaller.
