Software Outsourcing: Choosing a Model for a Dedicated Team

Dedicated team is a popular model for outsourcing of small-to-medium volumes of IT tasks. At Softheme we support a wide range of teams – from a one-person team to a team of up to 30 software specialists.

The size of the dedicated team can be flexible within one engagement depending on the project needs. The customer has an ability to review the team members’ resumes, have a phone interview with the candidates. Basing on the ongoing feedback, we will be providing training, improving the team quality and structure, adjusting processes until the result model fully supports customer’s business needs.

We suggest starting with a dedicated team of several developers who then will form a core team. This will allow to:

  1. Establish deployment, communication, testing and bug fixing and other procedures.
  2. Conduct an efficient knowledge transfer sessions.
  3. Identify the skillset/experience as well as the structure and roles in the team.
  4. Adjust performance expectations.
