EXHIBIT 10.27


                            BREAKAWAY SOLUTIONS, INC.
                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT



1.   GRANT UNDER 1998 STOCK PLAN.

     This option is granted pursuant to and is governed by the Company's 1998
     Stock Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context otherwise requires, terms
     used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations made
     in connection with this option pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by
     the Plan as it exists on this date.

2.   GRANT AS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION; OTHER OPTIONS.

     This option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under
     Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
     This option is in addition to any other options heretofore or hereafter
     granted to the Employee by the Company or any Related Corporation (as
     defined in the Plan), but a duplicate original of this instrument shall not
     effect the grant of another option.

3.   VESTING OF OPTION IF EMPLOYMENT CONTINUES.

     If the Employee has continued to be employed by the Company or any Related
     Corporation on the following dates, the Employee may exercise this option
     for the number of shares of Common Stock set opposite the applicable date:
     (attached as NOTICE OF GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS AND OPTION AGREEMENT).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with and subject to the
     provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate
     the date that any installment of this Option becomes exercisable. The
     foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Employee continues to be
     employed by the Company or any Related Corporation, may be exercised on or
     before the date which is ten (10) years from the date this option is
     granted. All of the foregoing rights are subject to Sections 4 and 5, as
     appropriate, if the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all
     Related Corporations.


4.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

     (a)      TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE.

              If the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all
              Related Corporations, other than by reason of death or disability
              as defined in Section 5 or termination for Cause as defined in
              Section 4(c), no further installments of this option shall become
              exercisable, and this option shall terminate on the earlier of (i)
              ninety (90) days after the date of termination of the Employee's
              employment, or (ii) the scheduled expiration date of this option.
              In such a case, the Employee's only rights hereunder shall be
              those which are properly exercised before the termination of this
              option.

     (b)      TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

              If the employment of the Employee is terminated for Cause (as
              defined in Section 4(c)), this option shall terminate upon the
              Employee's receipt of written notice of such termination and shall
              thereafter not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever.

                                  Page 1 of 11



     (c)      DEFINITION OF CAUSE.

              For the purpose of this Agreement, "Cause" means: (1) Optionee's
              substantial and continuing failure to perform Optionee's duties
              and responsibilities as an employee of the company other than due
              to death or disability; (2) Optionee's disloyalty, gross
              negligence, willful misconduct, dishonesty or breach of fiduciary
              duty to the Company; (3) Optionee's deliberate disregard of
              material rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices
              and policies of the Company (as amended from time to time in the
              Company's sole discretion) which results in direct or indirect
              loss, damage or injury to the Company; (4) Optionee's material
              breach of any agreement not to compete with the Company or
              solicit its customers, employees or contractors; or (5)
              Optionee's conviction of any crime which constitutes a felony in
              the jurisdiction involved.

5.   DEATH; DISABILITY.

     (a)      DEATH.

              If the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all
              Related Corporations by reason of his or her death, this option
              may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date
              of death, by the estate, personal representative or beneficiary
              who has acquired this option by will or by the laws of descent
              and distribution, until the earlier of (i) the specified
              expiration date of this option or (ii) \one hundred eighty (180)
              days from the date of the Employee's death.

     (b)      DISABILITY.

              If the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all
              Related Corporations by reason of his or her disability (as
              defined in Paragraph 10(B) of the Plan), the Employee shall have
              the right to exercise this option on the date of termination of
              employment, for the number of shares for which he or she could
              have exercised it on that date, until the earlier of (i) the
              specified expiration date of this option or (ii) one hundred
              eighty (180) days from the date of the termination of the
              Employee's employment.

     (c)      EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

              At the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) day period
              provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 or the
              scheduled expiration date, whichever is the earlier, this option
              shall terminate and the only rights hereunder shall be those as
              to which the option was properly exercised before such
              termination.

6.   PARTIAL EXERCISE.

     The Employee may exercise this option in part at any time and from time to
     time within the above limits, except that the Employee may not exercise
     this option for a fraction of a share unless such exercise is with respect
     to the final installment of stock subject to this option and cash in lieu
     of a fractional share must be paid, in accordance with Paragraph 13(G) of
     the Plan, to permit the Employee to exercise completely such final
     installment. Any fractional share with respect to which an installment of
     this option cannot be exercised because of the limitation contained in the
     preceding sentence shall remain subject to this option and shall be
     available for later purchase by the Employee in accordance with the terms
     hereof.

7.   PAYMENT OF PRICE.

     The option price shall be paid in United States dollars in cash or by
     check.

8.   METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION.

                                  Page 2 of 11


     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this option may be
     exercised by written notice to the Company at its principal executive
     office, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall designate. Such
     notice shall state the election to exercise this option and the number of
     Option Shares for which it is being exercised and shall be signed by the
     person or persons exercising this option. Such notice shall be accompanied
     by payment of the full purchase price of such shares, and the Company shall
     deliver a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as
     practicable after the notice shall be received. Such certificate or
     certificates shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so
     exercising this option (or, if this option is exercised by the Employee and
     if the Employee requests in the notice exercising this option, shall be
     registered in the name of the Employee and another person jointly, with
     right of survivorship). In the event this option is exercised, pursuant to
     Section 5 hereof, by any person or persons other than the Employee, such
     notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such
     person or persons to exercise this option.

9.   OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE.

     This option is not transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws
     of descent and distribution. During the Employee's lifetime only the
     Employee can exercise this option.

10.  NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION.

     The grant and acceptance of this option imposes no obligation on the
     Employee to exercise it.

11.  NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT.

     Neither the Plan, this Agreement, nor the grant of this option imposes any
     obligation on the Company or any Related Corporation to continue the
     Employee in employment.

12.  NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE.

     The Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the
     Option Shares until the date of issuance of a stock certificate to the
     Employee. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect to
     certain changes in the capitalization and stock dividends of the Company,
     no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which the
     record date is before the date such stock certificate is issued.

13.  CAPITAL CHANGES AND BUSINESS SUCCESSIONS.

     The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of options in a number
     of contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan
     for adjustment with respect to stock subject to options and the related
     provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are
     hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference.

14.  EARLY DISPOSITION.

     The Employee agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the
     Employee transfers any Option Shares, if such transfer occurs on or before
     the later of (a) the date two years after the Grant Date or (b) the date
     one year after the date the Employee acquired such Option Shares. The
     Employee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning
     any such transfer required by the Company for tax purposes.

15.  WITHHOLDING TAXES.

      If the Company or any Related Corporation in its discretion determines
     that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of
     this option, the making of a Disqualifying Disposition (as

                                  Page 3 of 11


     defined in Paragraph 18 of the Plan), the vesting or transfer of Option
     Shares acquired on the exercise of this option, or the making of a
     distribution or other payment with respect to the Option Shares, the
     Employee hereby agrees that the Company or any Related Corporation may
     withhold from the Employee's wages or other remuneration the appropriate
     amount of tax. At the discretion of the Company or Related Corporation, the
     amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such wages or
     other remuneration or in kind from the Common Stock or other property
     otherwise deliverable to the Employee on exercise of this option. The
     Employee further agrees that, if the Company or any Related Corporation
     does not withhold an amount from the Employee's wages or other remuneration
     sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company or Related
     Corporation, the Employee will make reimbursement on demand, in cash, for
     the amount underwithheld.

16.  COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

     (a)      EXERCISE OF RIGHT.

              If the Employee (or successor and assigns) or his or her legal
              representative (the "Transferor") desires to transfer all or any
              part of the Option Shares to any person other than the Company
              (an "Offeror"), the Transferor shall: (i) obtain in writing an
              irrevocable and unconditional bona fide offer (the "Offer") for
              the purchase thereof from the Offeror; and (ii) give written
              notice (the "Option Notice") to the Company setting forth the
              Transferor's desire to transfer such shares, which Option Notice
              shall be accompanied by a photocopy of the Offer and shall set
              forth at least the name and address of the Offeror and the price
              and terms of the bona fide offer. Upon receipt of the Option
              Notice, the Company shall have an assignable option to purchase
              all of such shares (the "Company Option Shares") specified in the
              Option Notice, such option to be exercisable by giving, within 90
              days after receipt of the Option Notice, a written counter-notice
              to the Transferor (the "Counter-Notice"). If the Company elects
              to purchase all of such Company Option Shares, it shall be
              obligated to purchase, and the Transferor shall be obligated to
              sell to the Company, such Company Option Shares that the Company
              elects to purchase as set forth in the Counter-Notice at a per
              share price equal to the lesser of (i) the per share price (and
              on the same terms) indicated in the Offer; or (ii) the Fair
              Market value (as defined in Section 17(b) and using the date of
              the Option Notice as the date of determination of Fair Market
              Value) of such shares as determined under Section 17(b), in any
              case within 30 days of the date of delivery by the Company of the
              Counter-Notice. If the Company elects to purchase all of such
              Company Option Shares, it may, in its sole discretion, pay the
              purchase price for such Company option shares in accordance with
              the terms of a promissory note in the form attached as Exhibit A
              hereto.

     (b)      SALE OF OPTION SHARES TO OFFEROR.

              The Transferor may, for 60 days after the expiration of the
              90-day period during which the Company may give the
              Counter-Notice, sell, pursuant to the terms of the Offer, any or
              all of such Company Option Shares not purchased or agreed to be
              purchased by the Company or its assignee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
              the Transferor shall not sell such Company Option Shares to the
              Offeror if the Offeror is a competitor of the Company and the
              Company gives a written notice to the Transferor, within 90 days
              of its receipt of the Option Notice, stating that the Transferor
              shall not sell such Company Option Shares to such Offeror; and
              PROVIDED, FURTHER, that prior to the sale of such Company Option
              Shares to the Offeror, the Offeror shall execute an agreement
              with the Company pursuant to which the Offeror agrees to be
              subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 16, 17, 18 and
              20 hereof. If any or all of such Company Option Shares are not
              sold pursuant to an Offer within the time permitted above, the
              unsold Company Option Shares shall remain subject to the terms of
              this Section 16 and any future proposed transfer must again
              comply with the provisions set forth herein.

     (c)      ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.

                                  Page 4 of 11


              If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company
              through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
              stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares,
              or the like, the restrictions contained in this Section 16 shall
              apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute
              securities, if any, received by the Employee in exchange for, or
              by virtue of his or her ownership of, Option Shares.

     (d)      FAILURE TO DELIVER COMPANY OPTION SHARES.

              If the Transferor fails or refuses to deliver on a timely basis
              duly endorsed certificates representing Company Option Shares to
              be sold to the Company or its assignee pursuant to this Section
              16, the Company shall have the right to deposit the purchase
              price for such Company Option Shares in a special account with
              any bank or trust company in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
              giving notice of such deposit to the Transferor, whereupon such
              Company Option Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased by
              the Company. All such moneys shall be held by the bank or trust
              company for the benefit of the Transferor. All moneys deposited
              with the bank or trust company remaining unclaimed for two years
              after the date of deposit shall be repaid by the bank or trust
              company to the Company on demand, and the Transferor shall
              thereafter look only to the Company for payment.

     (e)      EXPIRATION OF COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

              The first refusal rights of the Company set forth in this Section
              16 shall remain in effect until such time, if ever, as an
              underwritten public offering is made of shares of the Company's
              Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the
              Securities Act of 1933 or a successor statute, at which time this
              Section 16 and the right of first refusal set forth herein will
              automatically expire.

17.  COMPANY'S RIGHT OF REPURCHASE.

     (a)      RIGHT OF REPURCHASE.

              The Company shall have the right (the "Repurchase Right") to
              repurchase from the holder of any Option Shares (each a "Holder")
              any or all of the Option Shares then owned by such Holder at any
              time by giving such Holder a written notice (the "Repurchase
              Notice") at least 30 days prior to the date of repurchase. The
              Repurchase Notice shall set forth the number of Option Shares to
              be repurchased (the "Repurchase Shares"), the Fair Market Value
              per share (determined in accordance with Section 17(b) below as
              of the date of the Repurchase Notice) of the Repurchase Shares
              and the date (the "Repurchase Date") on which such Repurchase
              Shares are to be repurchased by the Company (such date not to be
              more than 120 nor less than 30 days after the date of the
              Repurchase Notice). On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall
              tender to the Holder an amount equal to the number of Repurchase
              Shares multiplied by the Fair Market Value per share; provided,
              however, that the Company may pay the repurchase amount, in its
              sole discretion, in accordance with the terms of a promissory
              note in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.. The Company may
              assign the Repurchase Right to one or more persons and may
              utilize a promissory note to effect its Repurchase right. Upon
              timely exercise of the Repurchase Right in the manner provided in
              this Section 17(a), the Holder shall deliver to the Company the
              stock certificate or certificates representing the Repurchase
              Shares, duly endorsed and free and clear of any and all liens,
              charges and encumbrances.

     (b)      FAIR MARKET VALUE.

              For purposes of this Agreement, the Fair Market Value of an
              Option Share shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
              Directors of the Company after taking into account all relevant
              factors including, without limitation, the absence of an active
              trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the restrictions
              on transfer of Option Shares set forth herein and the valuation
              attached to other recent issuances of securities by the Company.
              The determination by the Board of Directors of Fair Market value
              shall be conclusive and binding.

                                  Page 5 of 11


     (c)      ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.

              If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company
              through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
              stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares,
              or the like, the restrictions contained in this Section 17 shall
              apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute
              securities, if any, received by the Employee in exchange for, or
              by virtue of his or her ownership of, Option Shares.

     (d)      FAILURE TO DELIVER REPURCHASE SHARES.

              If the Holder fails or refuses to deliver on a timely basis duly
              endorsed certificates representing the Repurchase Shares to be
              repurchased by the Company or its assignee pursuant to this
              Section 17, the Company shall have the right to deposit the
              repurchase price for such Repurchase Shares in a special account
              with any bank or trust company in the Commonwealth of
              Massachusetts, giving notice of such deposit to the Holder,
              whereupon such Repurchase Shares shall be deemed to have been
              purchased by the Company. All such moneys shall be held by the
              bank or trust company for the benefit of the Holder. All moneys
              deposited with the bank or trust company remaining unclaimed for
              two years after the date of deposit shall be repaid by the bank
              or trust company to the Company on demand, and the Holder shall
              thereafter look only to the Company for payment.

     (e)      EXPIRATION OF COMPANY'S REPURCHASE RIGHT.

              The Repurchase Right of the Company set forth in this Section 17
              shall remain in effect until such time, if ever, as an
              underwritten public offering is made of shares of the Company's
              Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the
              Securities Act or any successor statute, at which time this
              Section 17 and the Repurchase Right set forth herein will
              automatically terminate.

18.  LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.

     The Employee agrees that in connection with an underwritten public offering
     of Common Stock, upon the request of the Company or the managing or lead
     underwriter for such public offering, this option and the Option Shares may
     not be sold, offered for sale or otherwise disposed of without the prior
     written consent of the Company or such underwriter, as the case may be, for
     at least 180 days after the effectiveness of the registration statement
     filed in connection with such offering, or such longer period of time as
     the Board of Directors may determine if all of the Company's directors and
     officers agree to be similarly bound. The lock-up agreement established
     pursuant to this Section 18 shall have perpetual duration.

19.  PROVISION OF DOCUMENTATION TO EMPLOYEE.

     By signing this Agreement the Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$_____________                                               _________ __, 199_

         For value received, the undersigned, Breakaway Solutions, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Obligor"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Janie
Tremlett ("Lender") at such place as may be designated from time to time in
writing by Lender, the principal sum of ___________ Dollars and ______ Cents
($_________), together with interest in arrears from and including the date
hereof on the unpaid principal balance hereunder, calculated daily, at the rate
of: ____ percent (___%) per annum [the prime rate in effect on the date hereof
for major banks as published in the Wall Street Journal], payable as set forth
below. At the option of Lender and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the rate of interest on any unpaid principal or interest not paid when due and
payable hereunder shall be two percent (2%) per annum above the rate of interest
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Interest shall be calculated on
the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Promissory Note, Lender does not
intend to charge and Obligor shall not be required to pay any interest or other
fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; any
payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to Obligor or credited to
reduce principal hereunder. All payments received by Lender hereunder will be
applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to interest and the balance
to principal. Principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America.

         Principal shall be paid in sixty (60) equal monthly installments of
________________ Dollars and ______ Cents ($______) each, commencing on
________, 199_, and continuing on the same day of each successive month
thereafter with a final payment of all unpaid principal on ______, 199_;
interest shall be paid monthly commencing on ________, 199_, and continuing on
the same day of each successive month thereafter with a final payment of all
unpaid interest at the time of payment of the principal.

         If any day on which a payment is due pursuant to the terms of this
Promissory Note is not a day on which banks in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
are generally open (a "Business Day"), such payment shall be due on the next
Business Day following.

         This Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time, without premium or
penalty, in whole or in part, all such prepayments to be applied upon
installments of most remote maturity. Any prepayment of principal shall be
accompanied by a payment of accrued interest in respect of the principal being
prepaid.

         This Promissory Note shall, at the option of the holder hereof, become
due and payable without notice or demand, upon the happening of any one of the
following specified events: (1) failure to pay any amount as herein set forth;
(2) default in the performance of any other obligation to Lender, which default
is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default from
Lender; (3) insolvency (however evidenced) or the commission of any act of
insolvency; (4) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(5) the filing of any petition or the commencement of any proceeding by Obligor
or any endorser or guarantor of this Promissory Note for any relief under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any laws relating to the relief of debtors,
readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions, or extensions; (6)
the filing of any petition or the commencement of any proceeding against Obligor
or any endorser or guarantor of this Promissory Note for any relief under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or any laws relating to the relief of debtors,
readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions, or extensions,
which proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; (7) suspension of the
transaction of the usual business of Obligor; or (8) the past or future making
of a false representation or warranty by Obligor in connection with any loan or
loans by Lender.



         If this Promissory Note is not paid in accordance with its terms,
Obligor shall pay to Lender, in addition to principal and accrued interest
thereon, all costs of collection of the principal and accrued interest,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other
costs for the enforcement of payment of this Promissory Note.

         No waiver of any obligation of Obligor under this Promissory Note shall
be effective unless it is in a writing signed by Lender. A waiver by Lender of
any right or remedy under this Promissory Note on any occasion shall not be a
bar to exercise of the same right or remedy on any subsequent occasion or of any
other right or remedy at any time.

         Any notice required or permitted under this Promissory Note shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given on the date of delivery, if
personally delivered to the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the fifth
business day after mailing, if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be
given, by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and
addressed to the addressee at the address of the addressee set forth herein, or
to the most recent address, specified by written notice, given to the sender
pursuant to this paragraph.

         This Promissory Note is delivered in and shall be enforceable in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and shall be
construed in accordance therewith, and shall have the effect of a sealed
instrument.

         Obligor hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, and protest,
notice of demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Promissory Note, and all other
notices or demands of any kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement hereof, and hereby consents to any delays,
extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted or
consented to by the holder hereof with respect to the time of payment or any
other provision hereof .

         In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Promissory Note
shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole
or in part or in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the
provisions of this Promissory Note operate or would prospectively operate to
invalidate this Promissory Note, then and in any such event, such provision(s)
only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect any other provision of
this Promissory Note and the remaining provisions of this Promissory Note shall
remain operative and in full force and effect and in no way shall be affected,
prejudiced, or disturbed thereby.
