You have an idea for a system or feature and know what needs to be done, but then comes the big question: how should you execute it? Fixed contract or agile team<\/a>? Can everything be defined upfront, or is it better to build and adjust as you go?<\/span><\/p>\n

This decision is more common (and more important) than it seems.
