Companies around the world are testing new alternatives to save costs in their developments. While some companies exclusively hire full-stack developers, some choose to outsource their projects to countries with lower development costs or hire freelancers at hourly rates; another potential option is to hire a dedicated development team.
Today we tell you why dedicated development team models work so well for software development.
What is a dedicated development team?
A dedicated development team is a group of developers who manage long-term software development projects for new, large, and mid-sized businesses. These developers are not independent, they work full time together with internal developers to create and develop software, according to the project.
A standard dedicated development team consists of:
- Front-end/back-end and full-stack developers build client-side and server-side applications.
- UI/UX designers create simple, responsive, and interactive user interfaces.
- DevOps coordinate the development, operations, and testing processes.
- QA engineers ensure error-free application delivery by creating test cases and test periods.
- Project managers are intermediaries between the client and the developers. They plan, manage, track progress, and mitigate project risks.
- Business analysts evaluate project requirements, user data, and analytics, offering suggestions to CEOs and business owners.
How does a dedicated development team work?
The process of hiring a dedicated development team begins with a company providing the goals, timeline, and scope of the project. It is always recommended to specify the skills that dedicated team members should possess and the number of developers needed to work on your project. Based on this information, the supplier company starts hiring developers, you can choose to bring them on a project right away or conduct additional interviews to assess their skills. Alternatively, you can ask the provider company to add or replace developers based on their experience.
The vendor then introduces the assigned team based on their project requirements. Next, you will issue a pricing system that will include team member salaries and the service provider’s rate for the entire contract period.
When to hire a dedicated development team?
Shortage of developmental skills:
Developers are responsible for staying on top of all the changing trends and providing the necessary information to their organization. They also study and test new technologies, experiment with new tools and practices to deliver an exceptional product for the company.
Projects with tight deadlines:
If your team is working on a software development project with an upcoming release date and needs to hire more developers to speed up development. Can you wait more than two months to hire new developers and wait patiently until they finish their onboarding and join the team? NO! This is where dedicated development teams step in.
By submitting your requirements and project schedules to the vendor, you can eliminate developer hiring from your list and focus on high-priority tasks. The supplier company will take care of selecting the right team members and provide you with a fully functional team in the time they estimate.
Redesign projects:
The redesign of a web platform or software is a big milestone for any organization. From determining project goals to reviewing user trends and customer feedback to upgrading existing features. A redesign project requires meticulous planning and attention, as dedicated teams work with a variety of technologies, gaining the skills and practices necessary to develop a solid redesign strategy.
When not to hire a dedicated development team?
A dedicated development team model brings several advantages to companies, not only is it the definitive solution to all software development problems, but they see beyond what the company cannot detect. You should not hire a dedicated team when:
- Limited budgets
- Short term projects
