Hello, I have read Kent�s article about optional scope contracts, but the question is how do you express it on a legal contract?. Do you have a sample optional scope contract that you could share with us?. When a customer wants to hire you, do you sign this kind of contract? Regards, Israel Antezana

I believe that of an optional (or might one say variable) scope contract is to permit a range of change as a part of everyday activities. While I'm sure the lawyers would love to be called in on every proposed change to the program, I'm not sure that would be a good thing. An early article by Kent Beck and Dave Cleal is on my site at http://www.xprogramming.com/ftp/Optional+scope+contracts.pdf .
