This podcast examines the challenges that arise from using traditional contract models in complex IT projects. Classic contracts, which focus on fixed services and prices, hamper successful collaboration and lead to inflexible and confrontational working relationships. The author argues in favor of relational contracts that are based on mutual trust and flexible adaptation to changing project conditions. Agility is identified as a crucial success factor for modern IT projects, with a focus on the ability to cooperate and mutual appreciation.

This podcast deals with the topic of leadership in projects. It argues that project management is more than just managing tasks, but requires leadership skills to motivate a team and achieve project goals together. Gerhard Friedrich analyzes various leadership models and emphasizes the importance of proactivity, reliability, clarity of objectives, and team development for project success. He criticizes meaningless project management, which focuses only on organization and administration without understanding the specific content of the project, and emphasizes the need for managers to deal with the special requirements and content of projects.
