Abstract

In this chapter, you will learn how to extract the essence of each provider’s offering and select the best fitting partner, how to establish the contractual bridge between the proposal and the contract or the beginning of the project, how to devise a bulletproof contractual structure that resists the rhythm of change, how to negotiate the contract and set the base for a well-balanced relationship, how to set the baselines to guide project control and execution through appropriate governance and work breakdown structures.
