Abstract
In December 2005, Sapient Consulting signed a fixed-price contract with US-based Global HR Outsourcing Inc to design a human resources portal for its international customers. Sapient's senior manager of project management, who was based in India, had been handed the project with full faith that it would not only be delivered on time but within the fixed price and using the new agile hybrid methodology. The client wanted the portal built for them and insisted that the project be delivered in a phased manner and with functionality approved by them. Thus, the challenge was to meet the needs of the client while maintaining the margins for the organization.
