If the project will be successful depends largely on the technical implementation: whether there are enough highly specialized experts, how immersed the team is in the project, how fast the communication is. A dedicated team format helps close these questions.
An Insider’s View
You get better and more predictable results from dedicated software developers. Immersion in the tasks plays a role. A dedicated team manages to close them not point by point, but with a full understanding of how it can affect other parts of the project. Sometimes there are cases when a specialist from a dedicated team corrects an error three times faster than the outsourced one.
On average, it takes an outside professional about three hours just to diagnose. A dedicated team member who knows the project takes 40 minutes.
The second important conclusion concerns the work of employees. When specialists are in one project, they feel more comfortable, and they don’t have to break off from one process to get into the other. Everything is consistent and according to plan.
In the classic version, the dedicated team model works like this:
- The client defines the goals and objectives of the project.
- The company provides a team that meets the requirements of the project.
- The client receives full control over the project and the team.
The main advantage for the client is the transparency of the processes and the ability to control them. If the client outsources the project, he receives the intermediate results, but does not see the whole picture of development. Communication with the team in this case occurs only through the manager.
When specialists work on only one project, they become part of the team. In this case, developers communicate not only with the client, but also with other departments. This comprehensive approach and immersion helps to understand the project more deeply. Also in this case, the customer can solve all issues directly with the team. Employees also promptly tell the client about problems or voice new ideas. This format of work has other important advantages.
- A clear focus on specific tasks.
- With full immersion in the project, the specialist knows the peculiarities and can advise on the most successful solutions.
Continuous integration and fast development cycle
When a project is in development, new ideas and requirements dictated by the market often arise. With a dedicated team, the implementation process is faster due to closer communication with the client and an understanding of the nuances of the project.
Less cost for recruitment and administration
Hiring specialists on staff is not only more expensive, but also more complicated. Companies usually require certain niche competencies. It takes time to find the necessary employees, which increases the time it takes to implement the project.
With a dedicated team, you don’t waste time. Specialists have the necessary knowledge in the subject area. Also, the team uses the experience of other implemented projects, which further strengthens the expertise.
What customers should keep in mind
If you are thinking about working in a dedicated team format with https://omisoft.net/, first you need to understand the volume. It should be at least 160 hours, so that the workload is enough for at least one specialist. Then it will be cost effective for the project.
It is good if there is a product backlog – the specialist can start on secondary tasks while waiting for feedback on the primary tasks. If you notice that a dedicated team member has no tasks on a project, we promptly help identify and remove the cause of downtime.
Sometimes clients have concerns about deadlines. More often than not, however, this fear is alleviated by complete transparency. For example, you include the client in all work chats – he sees what tasks the team is working on and what takes time.
The dedicated team format allows you to build a partnership of trust with the client, and the project gets the best solutions and their implementation.
