Herausforderungen bei einer Softwareentwicklung im Scrum-Verfahren

The contract types stipulated in the German Civil Code (“BGB”) in the form standardized in the BGB do not sufficiently reflect the legal requirements of software projects using the Scrum method .This thesis examines the possibilities to what extent contract design can provide provisions that are in the interest of both parties to the contract. Starting with an overview of agile software development, the suitability of the standardized BGB contract types for software projects using the Scrum method is examined. The main part of the thesis evaluates practically orientated possibilities of contract design for those subjects of regulation, which are only insufficiently or not at all represented by the BGB contract types as stipulated in the BGB.
