Dedicated Development Team
A Dedicated Development Team service entails recruiting the necessary specialists from the vendor’s team or sourcing tech talent on-demand for a client’s project. This helps augment your existing team temporarily or permanently, speed up development, and adjust team composition.
About Dedicated Development Team
Dedicated development is a model where the client hires a team of tech specialists from an external service provider. They have the expertise and skills required by a client. This approach helps acquire software engineers, business analysts, project managers, QA engineers, and others.
These specialists work solely on the client’s tasks and focus fully on project goals. The clients have the opportunity to scale their teams up or down based on the scope of work. They can also customize the composition of the dedicated team by selecting team members with specific skills and expertise required for their project.
Another advantage of this model of cooperation is that the client can also opt to buy out the software development team and hire the candidates directly. This can be advantageous for startups since investors often require the hiring of full-time tech specialists.
