Fixed price Model shortcomings
- It takes a lot of time to set everything up. A lot of time needs to be spent on details, aspects and discussions in the beginning of the project so the aim will be achieved.
- You do not take part in development process.Your project is getting done by group of experienced specialist operated by manager and you are not involved in it. But at the same time it does not mean that your opinion on something is not going to be heard.
- Project cannot be changed. Each and every detail is already assigned and discussed. Working group can only add alternatives when changing aims. Lack of cooperation. As a rule, every day developers and client discuss project during meetings, but not when you are using this business model. You are still allowed to take part in development, but usually there is no communication after signing up the contract.
- You might get high price. Sometimes clients can be overcharged due to misunderstanding. You might not be able to bring to light all details and requirements, and make mistakes while filling in documents. In case you want to change something in those docs you are going to pay more money to company. Now you have all necessary information about Fixed price Model.
