What you need to do

For IT projects the options to be considered are contracting for:

  • Outcomes: where contractors in the market are well placed to manage all the key risks
  • Outputs: where the contractor is likely to be well placed to manage lower level (input to output) risks, but not the overall risk that the outputs will not yield the required outcome.
  • Inputs: where you are well placed to manage internally all the key risks

Points to consider

For more information on selecting options for IT projects see the Risk Allocation Model.
