U.S. Army Shared Services Center recently awarded a $700M+ contract for agile development using capacity-based contracting methods. Capacity-based contracts do not specify the system functionality to be delivered, allowing for maximum flexibility to modify the product without expensive contract mods. This contracting vehicle is recommended by many leaders at the Office of the Secretary of Defense and lower, but is so new in the DoD there are few examples of its success.

Steve Ridings shares information about what capacity-based contracting offers as an alternative contracting method and learn how to navigate the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to achieve a contract which truly supports agile development.
