What is a dedicated development team model?

A dedicated team is a collaboration model between a client and a software development service provider, that implies hiring an allocated remote team of software developers who will exclusively work on your project.

Such a team is called “dedicated” because it is committed to the client's project and works on it full-time. The client has direct access to the software developers, while the vendor takes care of recruitment, employee retention, office space, IT infrastructure, staff support, and benefits for specialists.

When clients choose to work through the dedicated team model, they expect a team of professionals carefully selected to meet the requirements of a particular project. The outsourcing dedicated team model is perfect for a dynamic, long-term project with changing requirements, and if you want to build a team dedicated to just one project, then this is the model for you.

what the model implies

Dedicated team

  • It implies:

    The outsourcing company manages the project and developers but provides various feedback options to the client.

    The outsourcing company is responsible for handpicking the right professionals in a dedicated team to meet the client’s requirements.

    A client and a team both coordinate the project’s workflow, including development schedules and deliverables.

  • Pros:

    40% more cost effictive than hiring an in-house team.

    Team works exclusively on the project at hand.

    Continuous delivery to achieve maximum flexibility and scalability and easy product modification.

    Faster workflow when compared to more strictly planned models like fix-price or time&material.

  • Cons:

    Efficient only for relatively long-term projects.

    Less control over the development compare to in-house.

hiring

How it works

  • Gathering requirements

    We hold a series of meetings to clarify the project’s details, requirements for the team, preliminary work schedule, and different organizational aspects.

  • Assembling a team

    We assemble a team of developers based on your requirements. After that, you interview all candidates and choose those talents you’d like to see on your dedicated development team.

  • Onboarding and development

    The dedicated team developers study the project, read the documentation to learn more about the product, get acquainted with the scope of tasks and deadlines. After that, the development process begins.

  • Scaling up and down

    Depending on the project’s state, the dedicated team can be scaled up and down. When the project is on the finish line, the number of developers can be decreased. If the scope of tasks is getting bigger, you can expand your team.

Our engagement models

Staff augmentation

The staff augmentation engagement model fits well for small and mid-size projects with clear requirements and is done on a contractual basis.

QIT Software's IT staff augmentation services provide the speed and flexibility in extending your team and filling the skill gaps, and allow our clients to release products 40% faster and with lower costs. Technically, staff augmentation scales your team without hiring new in-house employees.

Frequently asked questions

A dedicated team is a development team model, which uses the monthly salary of all team members, as well as additional administrative costs. The dedicated team model allows you to form a team, taking into account the level of professionalism of each of its participants and the budget of the project.

The dedicated team structure varies and depends on the project demands. Below you can find an example: In case you are a business owner and going to manage a small web project by yourself, you’ll need:
  • Front-end developers
  • Back-end developers
  • Manual QA engineers
  • UI/UX designer (part-time)
For a large project, you might need to add the following specialists: 
  • Business analyst
  • Mobile developer
  • Project manager
  • DevOps engineer
  • Automation QA engineer
The only common aspect will be that all the IT specialists will be working exclusively on your project, without being involved in other side projects.

The dedicated team model is typically beneficial for clients who have a comprehensive knowledge of their market, industry, and the problems they may encounter. The model works best for mid and long-term development projects.  Customers who apply this type of approach typically:
  • Aware of their goals;
  • Consider the risks and challenges they may face while managing the project;
  • Can intervene at any stage of project development;
Have a budget to afford a quality team.

You only pay for the actual working time. A payment QIT Software accepts is a monthly payment composed of the hours of work done during this month. All the recruitment, office hardware, and administrative costs are on our side.  Once the team is set, it’s easy to calculate the final sum based on the hourly rates or salaries of different tech specialists, and the infrastructure expenditures that you will need from your side to manage the remote team.

When working with a distributed team of remote software engineers, you should take into account the following: time zones, communication, defined work procedures, usage of collaboration tools, a system of rewards, tracking, and being transparent.  Applying these practices can greatly help you in easing things and achieving goals fast:
  • Build a personal connection with every member of a remote team
  • Monitor the performance
  • Make sure the team understands the purpose of the project and your strategy 
  • Keep objectives clear

The process of composing a dedicated team will usually depend on the number of specialists you require, the type of technologies, and your budget. But typically the time is 1-3 weeks between our initial contact and the time when the new team members start working on your project.

A dedicated team is a cooperation model when an outsourced team is fully dedicated to your project and acts as a part of your in-house team, but remotely.
