A ‘Dedicated Team’ is an outsourcing strategy that allows an individual or organization to hire a full-fledged team of software developers for a planned software development project through an outsourced, often offshore, software development company on long term contract. A dedicated project team structure lets the client have full control over the project, while giving them the opportunity to delegate difficult tasks and responsibilities to an outsourced dedicated team who has maximum focus on the project. Dedicated team will not be switched to other contracts or handle tasks for other clients.

When is the Dedicated Team Model the Right Choice for your Project?

Here are the best times to choose a Dedicated Team Model with Era Biz Solutions for your Project:

1
From Scratch Software Development Project

This is one reason to choose a dedicated team as you will need a full team to create your software product from zero to one hundred.

2
Requirement of Software Developers for Extended Period.

If your contract period is going to be large it is best that you hire a dedicated team even if you only need one developer. This will offer you the best value both financially and technically.

3
Have Full Control of your Software Development Project

If you wish to have the independence to make many changes as development occurs and manage your project team in the same way that you would manage your in-house staff, then a dedicated team is the way to go.

4
Have an IT background and Know What You Need

While your company’s skills will differ, knowing what you need can definitely help things along faster. In this case, you can easily give us the requirements and we can hire your dedicated team for you.

5
Want A Dedicated Team Even for a Little Extra Cost

While somewhat more expensive than our fixed-price project models, when you hire dedicated teams with Era Biz Solutions they work for you, and only you during the contract period. This improves efficiency and effectiveness.

Almost every full project is appropriate for dedicated teams. However, do not be misled. Just as every work option has pros and cons, there are some instances where our Staff Augmentation Model, Full Project Outsourcing, or Build-Operate-Transfer are more appropriate for your project. Read about them to gain an understanding. Here’s when you should definitely consider one of Era Biz Solutions’ other work models, instead of the Dedicated Teams model.

1

Length Your software development project is very short (If less than 3 months consider Staff Augmentation)

2

Numbers Your software development needs very few experts

3

Budget If you have a fixed budget and have planned and fixed requirements

4

Resources If you don’t have the time and/or resources to be more closely involved with the project

5

Time If you don’t have time and need a Software Development company to take full ownership of your project, test and run the final product on your behalf for smoothness, and then handover completed product.

What will your team structure be like?

Your dedicated team structure at Era Biz Solutions will usually include a dedicated project manager, quality assurance engineer, DevOps expert, and required numbers of other experts such as PHP Developers, React.js developers, Java engineers, WordPress developers, UI/UX developers, and mobile app developers. The number of dedicated software engineers in your team will be in accordance to your initial requirements stated

However, if you have a limited FTE count (Full-Time Equivalent count) you can choose to hire only the key developers to be part of your dedicated team, and later through staff augmentation hire specific other experts such as a quality assurance engineer and DevOps expert to be part of your team at critical periods of your project.

All our projects receive their own project manager for oversight; hence you can relax on that end.

Hence, here are the ways you can hire dedicated software experts:

1

• Will include a dedicated project manager for term of contract
• Performance Monitoring assistance

2

• A full team of dedicated software developers including auxiliary experts such as dedicated a QA engineer, and DevOps expert

FAQ

This involves a remote team of software developers working using agile methodologies on a fulltime basis hired through a third-party outsourcing company. The dedicated team usually consists of required software development experts, QA engineer/s, UI/UX designer, and a project manager all with knowledge of agile methods. Other team players such as a Scrum Master are flexibly added according to specific needs. They are typically hired through an offshore software development company such as Era Biz to reduce costs

A dedicated team is hired to outsource an entire core task, such as a full project to build a software or an app, while an extended team is made to augment staff in order to complete specific inhouse tasks that are part of a bigger picture. Members of an extended team are usually hired through staff augmentation short term, though you could also hire individual dedicated developers if you need them on a long-term basis. However, Dedicated Teams are hired as a whole after specifying your requirements to your offshore software development partner.

• Communicate your requirements and project scope clearly
• Prepare a clear SOW (statement of work) for your project including scope, deliverables, timelines, roles of team players, and payment terms.
• Establish a reporting method
• Touchbase frequently and effectively with your project management and team
• Though they are a remote dedicated team not hired directly by you, showing some extra support goes a long way and helps get things done faster.

Agile development is an overarching development philosophy on how to provide the best working software while focusing on communication, collaboration, flexibility and adaptability.

Scrum (taking its name from rugby) is one of the main methodologies used to implement. Scrum uses two main key ways to make software developments more agile: scrums and sprints. ‘Scrums’ are daily meetings used to understand work done, daily goals, challenges and changes to be made through lessons learnt. This creates a self-motivated dedicated team able to work and grow. ‘Sprint’ is a method to segregate tasks into bite-sized chunks which are then planned, developed and tested within a two-week period, making the development very agile and reducing costly correction, hence improving ROI (return on investment).

A scrum master is a trained expert in managing software development teams and organizing scrums and sprints. It is not a must to include a scrum master but it definitely helps, especially when a dedicated team uses the scrum method for agile development as Era Biz Solutions teams do.
