Complete the sentence about the agile contract problem.
Because incremental specification is inherent in agile methods, agile methods must rely on contracts where the customer pays for the (1) required for system development rather than the development of a specific (2) of requirements.
Correct Answer
(1) time
(2) set

Agile methods must rely on contracts where the customer pays for the time required for system development rather than the development of a specific set of requirements. So long as all goes well this benefits both parties, but if problems arise there may be difficult disputes over who is to blame.
