Agile means no fixed scope — but clear agreements.
Without agreements on sprints, acceptance, and exit, agile is generally a best-efforts obligation, whereas you expect a working result. You address this tension in the contract.

Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The right form depends on your project. These choices determine the content.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is the scope fixed in advance or does it evolve? For a growing scope, the agile variant is a better fit.
Do you want to focus on results or effort? Establish what is fixed, so that effort does not become unlimited.
Who provides the product owner? The division of roles determines who sets the priorities.
How do you manage the rights to the software? Transferring in increments prevents getting stuck.
What happens upon termination? An exit arrangement prevents supplier dependency.
Clauses and provisions

What belongs in an agile development agreement?

These are the components that make agile working legally manageable, with the focus point.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Nature of the obligation Always Make it clear that agile is a best-efforts commitment, with what is fixed.
Product vision and frameworks Always Define the vision, the budget framework, and the interim delivery dates.
Sprints and backlog Always Establish the workflow per sprint, the role of the product owner, and the definition of done.
Acceptance per increment Always Determine how deliverables per sprint are tested and accepted.
Payment Always Link payment to accepted sprints or milestones.
Intellectual property Always Manage the rights to the delivered software per increment.
Exit and winding down Always Document what happens to code, documentation, and the team upon termination.
Liability Always Limit liability appropriate to an obligation of best effort.
Use in practice

How do you use the agreement correctly?

Agile only works with discipline in the agreements. Please note the following.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Before the start Define product vision, frameworks, and working methods Prevent flexibility from becoming unlimited costs.
Per sprint Test and accept every delivery Acceptance per increment makes progress measurable.
For additional work Manage via the backlog and prioritization This way, the budget remains manageable.
Upon termination Implement the exit and phase-out scheme This way, you retain code, knowledge, and continuity.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes in agile contracting

We see these errors most often, with consequences for budget and property.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Sticking a fixed-scope contract onto agile Conflict between expectation and working method Use a real agile agreement.
Don't commit to anything just because it's agile Unlimited costs and lack of clarity Set frameworks, demos, and delivery dates.
No acceptance per increment Discussion about what has been delivered Agree on acceptance criteria per sprint.
IE only arrange at the end Stuck halfway Transfer rights in increments.
No exit package Supplier dependency Determine the exit and winding down in advance.
Risk profile

Which agile project do you have and what do you pay attention to?

The emphasis varies by project. If you recognize your situation, you know where the focus should lie.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
New platform with growing requirements Scope grows gradually Frameworks, demos, and acceptance per sprint.
Further development with a permanent team Continued cooperation Dedicated team, reporting, and IE per increment.
Project with a tight budget Limited financial room Budget framework and steering via the backlog.
Collaboration with external agency Dependence on supplier Exit, source code, and knowledge transfer.
Additional documents

What else do you need in addition to this agreement?

The agile agreement governs the collaboration. In these situations, you need an additional document.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You work with a fixed scope and deliverables Software Development Agreement For projects with a predetermined result.
You license the software Software License Agreement For the terms of use of the software.
The software processes personal data Data Processing Agreement Required for processing on behalf of others (Article 28 GDPR).
Explanation of this document

Drafting an Agile software development agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what agile software development agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why legal customization is important.

What is an agile software development agreement?

An agile software development agreement is tailored to an agile or Scrum methodology: there is no fixed scope established in advance, but you work in sprints with a product owner and acceptance per increment. This requires different arrangements than a classic development contract with a fixed end result. The core issue lies in the legal tension: agile is generally an obligation of best effort, while the client still expects a working result.

Effort or result?

Dutch case law generally views agile development as a best-efforts obligation: the supplier makes an effort but does not promise a watertight final product. Therefore, explicitly define what is fixed—the product vision, a dedicated team, reporting, demos, and interim delivery dates—so that the flexibility of agile does not lead to unlimited costs and ambiguity.

Sprints, backlog, and acceptance per increment

Regulate how collaboration proceeds per sprint: the sprint backlog, the role of the product owner, the definition of done, and acceptance per increment. This way, you manage for a working, accepted deliverable rather than an undefined end product, and link payment to accepted sprints.

Intellectual property and exit

Determine for each increment who is entitled to the rights to the delivered software, so that you do not get stuck halfway through. Also arrange an exit and phase-out plan: what happens to the code, the documentation, and the team when the collaboration ends? A good exit prevents vendor dependency.

Difference from a standard development agreement

With a classic software development agreement, you agree on a fixed scope and deliverables in advance. The agile variant is suitable for projects where requirements evolve along the way; choose the form that suits your project and your risk appetite.

Have an Agile agreement drafted

Our legal experts draft a custom agile software development agreement with clear agreements regarding sprints, acceptance, IP, and exit. Fixed price upfront and a free consultation.

Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document

Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
