About dedicated development teams

All the capability of an in-house team. None of the building it.

A dedicated development team is a complete unit — engineers, a PM, and QA — assembled around your roadmap and managed day-to-day, so you get the output of a full team without spending the better part of a year hiring one.

Freelancers & contractors

Flexible, but you’re the glue

Quick to find, hard to coordinate. You end up managing every hand-off, and quality varies person to person.

Trade-off: your time & consistency
Staff augmentation

Great engineers, your management

Vetted individuals inside your team — ideal when you have leads and process, and just need more capacity.

Trade-off: you still run delivery
Dedicated team

A complete unit, delivery included

Devs, PM, and QA working only on your product. We run the day-to-day; you steer the roadmap.

One predictable monthly cost
Benefits

Everything a product team needs, from day one.

Not a list of names on an invoice — a working unit with its own rhythm, quality bar, and single point of contact.

Complete Team, Day One

Engineers, PM, and QA start together — no six-month ramp while roles fill one by one.

Managed Delivery

Your PM runs standups, sprints, and tracking. You review demos and set priorities — not tickets.

Quality Built In

Dedicated QA on the team from sprint one — testing isn’t an afterthought or an extra invoice.

One Predictable Cost

A single monthly figure covers the whole team — salaries, management, and replacements included.

Shape-Shifts With Your Roadmap

Add a designer for the redesign, a DevOps engineer for launch — the team evolves as your product does.

Full Transparency

Your tools, your channels, weekly demos, and clear reporting — you always know where things stand.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

We do. A dedicated project manager runs standups, sprint planning, and delivery tracking, and is your single point of contact. You set priorities and review progress — without managing individual tickets.

Augmentation adds individual engineers to a team you already manage. A dedicated team is a complete, self-managing unit — devs, PM, and QA — that we run for you. If you have strong in-house leads and just need capacity, augmentation fits; if you want delivery handled, this is the model.

Most teams are assembled within one to two weeks. After you’ve met and approved the members, a short onboarding and sprint zero get everyone aligned before real sprint work begins.

Always. We propose the team; you interview and approve every person on it. Nobody joins your team without your yes — and the same applies to any later additions.

Yes — that’s the point of the model. Add a designer for a redesign phase, bring in DevOps for launch, or scale engineer count up and down as the roadmap shifts, all inside the same engagement.

The team works in your channels and tools, with weekly demos and clear sprint reports. You see the same boards and builds the team does — full visibility, no black box.

You do, fully. All work product and intellectual property belong to you, assigned contractually from day one — including everything produced during build–operate–transfer engagements.
