Unlock the power of customer-driven budget!

Customers want estimates.📈

Developers don’t understand why and don’t want to do it. Developers say estimates are not accurate, so they are useless.🤷‍♂️

But WHY does the customer want it?

When you do hourly billing, the risk is for the customer!💼

How can a customer lower its risk? One way is asking for estimates to get insights.🧐

What if we flip this?🔄

Let the customer set the budget! How much is it worth to the customer?💰

This changes everything!✨

For an estimate, you first need to create a design. A budget is a creative constraint for the design!

This is truly agile! Fixed time, variable scope.⏳🔁
