Dedicated team is a framework model chosen more often by IT and non-IT companies for developing software projects that require extended resources (e.g., specialists for specific technologies and/or processes, certain team and management roles, etc.).

If you haven’t experienced (yet) working with a dedicated development team, you have, for sure, several questions on this topic:

To start working with a dedicated development team, a company that is interested in developing a new software project/ extending or optimizing an existing one must sign an IT services contract with a provider with proven experience in developing similar projects.

The dedicated team specialists are selected based on a criteria list sent by the client-company to the provider-company. The criteria usually describe the expected technical knowledge and experience levels.

The client decides if it is interested or not to also externalize the management roles, The project is underway at providers’ offices, and the dedicated team members are using the provider’s equipment and technologies. Meetings and travels to the client-company’s headquarter are sometimes needed — so, the provider and the client settle together their frequency.

From startups to large companies, several types of companies can rely on the dedicated team model for developing their software projects. However, the approach will be different — according to each company’s specific objective.

Some examples:

  • the company need to hire and guarantee gainful IT teams for the project;
  • the company is interested in developing new products without using internal resources;
  • the company has dynamic objectives — so, long-term internal hirings are not profitable choices;
  • the company is a startup that needs to extend its developing teams to achieve the company’s goal.
