Agile project management wins popularity, both at business, and at developers more and more. The successful experience, the theory bribing by the simplicity, the eloquent manifesto and the values confirmed by life. But, unfortunately, in real life at a Agile approach a large number of weak places comes to light. One of such places is Agile management on the fixed cost projects.

The problem which while to the majority of developers is stable and reproduced to solve isn’t possible, can be formulated approximately so: How to change Scope without changing it? And to whom to pray, that it “was lucky” with the Customer?

I want to consider more deeply an essence of this problem, to understand concept of Scope of what it consists why work with priorities often is impossible, and to share the experience of large successful project which managed by agile way (Scrum), with participation of the divisions much business, several groups of key stakeholders with multidirectional interests.

• What preparatory work was made by the Customer
• How we planned and monitor the progress
• What “pattern” of delivery we used
• What result we got
