Is Dedicated Team Model Right For Your Software Development Startup?

“Thanks” to the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions associated with it, many began to consider remote collaboration with specialists as a more effective dedicated team model (fast, affordable, and convenient) alternative to local hiring and office work in general. 

Indeed, in many projects, this approach is fully justified: due to the difference in regional rates, startup owners manage to save on hiring; thanks to the opportunity to contact an outsourcing company, they can fill all empty vacancies in a week or two; due to the absence of the need for standard bureaucratic procedures accompanying hiring, they can avoid concluding unprofitable employment contracts, and so on. The list of advantages does not end there, but how can you choose the only dedicated team model of cooperation? You will find it out below.

Which Dedicated Team Model Will Suit You Best?

In fact, when it comes to selecting the best cooperation model, the choice is between the three most popular ones: Fixed Price, Time and Material, and, actually, Dedicated Team.

The first option is extremely rarely suitable for startups as projects with uncertain requirements since it needs a clear list of tasks and specifications from the very beginning. This explains why you will most likely have to filter it out from the very beginning. The second one, Time and Material, it implies payment for time and other resources spent during the project.

In this regard, projects lasting more than six months turn out to be quite expensive. This is why startup owners most often choose cooperation with a dedicated software development team as the most flexible, adaptable, and cost-effective option among the three presented above.

Specifically, dedicated teams allow new specialists to join the project as needed and already hired ones to leave it when the list of tasks assigned to them ends. As for the pricing of dedicated software development teams, each member of such a team will be assigned an individual rate, which you will pay at the end of each new month of work on the startup. Thus, this method of interaction turns out to be as similar as possible to what would happen if you hired all these specialists on your staff.

Considering all these nuances and advantages, we can answer the question posed in the title of our article – “Is hiring dedicated software developers right for your software development startup?” – positively.
