ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a new business model for custom software development industry utilizing agile software development to embrace changes. Traditional business model usually does not work well with agile software development because it mandate up-front man-month estimation based on a fixed scope. Our new model proposes a solution with two notable features; fixed monthly subscription and weekly agreement of what to provide. We successfully applied the new business model to more than 20 cases over 3 years and this paper describes one of them.
