Overview

A dedicated team is a cross-functional group (developers, testers, a lead, sometimes a designer or product owner) assembled by the vendor for you. It stays together and builds deep knowledge of your systems.

You set the direction; the vendor handles hiring, retention, team management and delivery practices. Many enterprises use it to build or run products for years without growing headcount.

How it works

  1. 1

    Team design

    Roles, seniority and size to suit your roadmap.

  2. 2

    Ramp-up

    Hiring and onboarding over a few weeks.

  3. 3

    Ways of working

    Agile ceremonies, tools and reporting agreed up front.

  4. 4

    Scaling

    Grow or shrink with notice as the roadmap changes.

Is it right for you?

Best for

  • Product development over a year or more
  • Building a capability you don't want to hire for
  • Round-the-clock progress with teams in different time zones

Think twice if…

  • It's a one-off project with a clear end; a fixed scope may suit better
  • You can't give the team a steady flow of work

Typical engagements
