Best suited for short-term projects with clearly defined goals, this model relies on
detailed
documentation, fixed timelines, and a set budget. With a stable scope and minimal expected
changes,
development follows a predefined schedule—typically using the waterfall methodology.
Once the client outlines the exact requirements and delivery timeline, the offshore team
estimates
costs based on complexity. While minimal client oversight is needed, any deviation from the
initial
plan may introduce scope-related risks and additional costs for both parties.
