解説
問 40
Incorrectア
Under a contract for work, what the ordering side can demand is the deliverables within the scope agreed in the contract. Even for a defect found after acceptance, instructing the vendor to investigate and fix similar spots that are not specified in the contract is a demand beyond the contract scope, and is not appropriate as procurement management. If needed, it should be formally agreed as a specification change or as a separate contract.
Incorrectイ
Intellectual property rights (the ownership of the rights to the deliverables and the program) are precisely an important matter that should be made clear in the contract. If you let them code freely without including such clauses, the ownership of the rights to the developed program becomes ambiguous, causing serious problems such as the ordering side being unable to freely use or modify it later.
Incorrectウ
Procurement details such as the development scope, specifications, and work content should be agreed upon before starting development. Agreeing in writing after development has already started means the terms are settled only after misunderstandings and rework have occurred, which is the wrong order and not appropriate.
- エ
正解 In project procurement management, the key point is to define clearly in writing “what will be delivered, to what extent, and how” before placing the order with an external party (that is, at the time of contracting). Especially when ordering from an overseas vendor under a contract for work, in order to prevent later disputes over misunderstandings or specification changes, the procurement details such as the scope of documents to be delivered and the rules for specification changes during development must be agreed in writing at the time of contracting. Choice エ is exactly this action of agreeing in writing at the time of contracting, so it is appropriate.
ここがポイント
- Project procurement management: for outsourcing, the basic rule is to agree in writing on the procurement scope, deliverables, specification-change rules, and so on at the time of contracting (before placing the order).
- Under a contract for work, the deliverables and the ownership of rights are made clear in the contract. Demanding work beyond the contract scope or omitting the intellectual property clauses is inappropriate.
