The Ultimate Guide To Dedicated Software Development Teams

Just like the dedicated team model, time and materials allow for a flexible approach to both the development process and budget. Thanks to this flexibility, scalability and quick adaptation are easily attained with the time and materials model. It all comes down to how long you intend to work on your project.

Cost-efficiency

As we already mentioned, hiring an in-house team can be an expensive and arduous process – taking often over a year to reach the scale that a dedicated team’s provider can provide in a couple of months.

Flexibility

The dedicated team model allows you to scale your team, up or down, depending on your project’s needs. In a startup environment, where things are usually lean and agile, this flexibility is invaluable.

Experience & expertise

A well-established software development company will have a wealth of experience in a range of industries and above all, excellent access to high-quality candidates. This means they will already have an idea of what you will need within your dedicated team, and it will be quicker for them to align on your business needs.

Reliable long-term business partnership

Just like your own internal team, the dedicated team will work with you typically for years on attaining development roadmaps. The main benefit is the partner’s commitment to having a strong and productive team while giving you near-zero time spent on the management of HR, office, hiring and firing.

Track record & experience

You need to make sure the partner you choose to build your development team has the experience and a good track record. Start by looking into their portfolio to see the kind of companies they’ve worked with before. Then reach out to those companies and ask them about their research.

Technology

The agency you choose to build your dedicated team should have experience in the technology you intend to use to build your startup. If they know the technology, they will know which hard skills to look for in your development candidates.

Product-centric approach

If you’re building a startup, you will want your team to use the lean and agile methodologies that have become standard practice for contemporary companies. It’s essential that the partner you choose to help you build your team also follows these methodologies, so they fully understand the needs of your startup.

Onboarding process company culture

It’s essential that the company you partner with to build your dedicated team has a rock-solid onboarding process. Even more important is their company culture. This is a people business where karma, culture and working on exciting projects means obtaining and keeping what you need: the best people to work on making your Roadmap a reality.

Quality assurance

An experienced tech partner never loses sight of product quality. Workflows must feature QA procedures as a matter of course and throughout the software development life cycle, not just at the end. This helps ensure that you end up with a high-quality product that meets all project specifications and your business requirements.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to get your next project off the ground quickly and efficiently, hiring a dedicated team of developers is the way to go.
