The Only Software Development Company Your Project Needs

A managed Dedicated Team model is the intermediate option between staff augmentation and a completely outsourced solution. In this scenario, the right project manager and QA (quality assurance) specialist are the essential parts of a strong autonomous agile team. This product development approach allows us to share the risk and responsibility for delivering final results.

What to Expect with Our Managed Teams

  • Limited integration: The remote dedicated team operates independently and does not fully merge with your in-house colleagues, as opposed to the staff augmentation model.
  • Long-term partnership: This model is ideal for executing extensive, long-term projects with frequently changing requirements. The team works full-time on the project, and you directly communicate with each member. This allows for greater flexibility in scope, tasks, resources, and cost structures.
  • Deeper understanding of your business: Dedicated team members immerse themselves in your business without distractions from other projects. They gain a deep understanding of your product lifecycle and ultimate engineering goals.
  • Shared responsibilities: We build the remote team and handle complete people management, while engineering deliverables, project milestones, and risks are shared between both parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our dedicated software development teams.

A dedicated team is a group of engineers, plus roles like QA, DevOps, and a project manager, that works exclusively on your product over the long term. We assemble the team and manage people and retention while sharing delivery responsibility, and you set the priorities and direction.

Staff augmentation adds individual engineers who are managed by your in-house team. A dedicated team operates as a more autonomous unit that we help manage, which suits long-term products with evolving scope. Augmentation is best for filling specific skill gaps; a dedicated team is best for owning a workstream end to end.
