Today, IT outsourcing is booming and the reason behind this is that these teams are more skilled as compared to the in-house teams.

Let’s dive into the details and learn more about the dedicated development team.

Dedicated Development Team – Introduction

A Dedicated Development Team is a team of software developers, engineers, project managers, QA specialists, UX/UI designers and other members that work according to the client requirements on various projects. This is one of the popular modes based on par with the fixed price (FP) and time & material (T&M) models. It basically means you work with the dedicated team and your full-time staff that help in resolving the administrative issues.

This type of cooperation model not only suits start-ups but also experienced organizations. This can prove to be beneficial if you are significantly looking for software development but though having in-house developers, they aren’t able to work on it or don’t have full-time in-house team. This team cooperates with the client until the project is completed. Note that the team’s advantages get displayed in long-term projects.

The term dedicated development team itself suggests that they are fully committed to you and the work you offer. The team will directly communicate with you for updates on the projects and vice versa. Apart from this, you too can control and manage the progress of your project from any corner of the world.

Reasons to Hire a Dedicated Development Team

Projects that are complex and long-term and have a bright future require a dedicated team model. This proves to be a best option when you don’t have knowledge about the product and are at a starting stage. Let’s dive into details of the reasons for requirement of this model.

1. No Expertise

Imagine that you are working on a project that requires expertise which your organization staff doesn’t have. You can build a skilled team in a short time, ultimately saving cost and develop your product quickly by hiring a dedicated development team.

2. Small Team

Another reason for hiring a dedicated team is that you have a small team or lack internal resources for scaling the product as per the business development roadmap.
Basically, what it means that you have enough budget for development, your product is working great in terms of customer satisfaction and retention but, you don’t have the developers to synchronize development with growth.

3. Affordable Budget for Development

With a fixed budget you can attain specific goals and in this situation you can opt for a dedicated team that falls within the stipulated budget. It is better to hire development engineers out of your locality as it can be cheaper.

This can be best explained with an example. The app development cost in UK is $100-$120 whereas that in Eastern Europe will cost $30-$50 an hour. Thus, outsourcing is an affordable option if you are outsourcing to country that offers a cheaper rate.

Benefits of Having a Dedicated Development Team

Businesses that hire dedicated development teams have several advantages over in-house teams. Check them below:

1. Cost Efficiency

When businesses hire dedicated development teams, they can use the IT budget more effectively. The reasons are – they need to pay less to employees, can hire limited number of people and less expenditure on infrastructure and human resources.

Thus, a dedicated project team acts as one of the most budget-friendly work models in software development for businesses.

2. Easy Hiring

Our Experience with Dedicated Development Team Collaboration

1. Estimation of Scope – At this phase, we check out the amount of work that needs to be done and the number of people that will be needed for the same.

For this, business analysts communicate with a client for checking out his/her requirements and wants. Then depending on the information, business analysts will define the project requirement and check the project’s scope

There are two possibilities when determining the scope:

• If the client has already defined the scope, we discuss the budget by taking into consideration the priorities and estimated or allotted timelines.
• In case the client doesn’t know the exact scope, we need to check the discovery stage in which we simply make assumptions and test them with the help of models.

Depending on the results of the test, we determine if the existing scope has the skills to complete our objectives. If not, then we continue our discovery and research until we get the required scope.

2. Selecting Talent – Here, we create a team of skilled and motivated professionals so that they work on your project. We create the team based on the below selection:

3. Benefit – Calculated ROI for this project;
