We allocate a full time team (40-45 hours for each member of the team). You get weekly reports on the hours spent from the internal redmine time tracking system, but at least a full 40 hours per team member must be used up each week. Otherwise the client pays for the full load regardless. The team is formed for projects with weekly load from 64 to 2000 hours.
The first thing you should start with is to choose the most appropriate team size which will determine the speed with which the project will move forward. Our guys can move at speeds from 64 to 2000 hours a week. Let's further explore how it works.
The team will include the following specialists working at a full load:
Now let's look at an example of a small, dedicated team that can spend 160-200 hours per week:
For the dedicated team, we select guys who are ready to work on one project for a long time
The dedicated team is always made up of full-time developers who are only dedicated to your project and cannot work less than 40 hours a week. This condition works even if there are temporarily no tasks in the project. Often, during such periods, the guys are engaged in code refactoring, bug fixes with priorities 4-5, and working with the backlog.
However, a dedicated team may include part time developers, either temporarily for a quick push or periodically as needed. For example, you do not need a UX/UI designer all the time in a situation when all the mockups are ready and approved, but if necessary UX/UI designers can be involved to make some adjustments.
Why do we mention 40-45 hours a week? The fact is that we work hourly and the guys have the opportunity to work more than 8 hours a day. Each guy can work an average of 9 hours a day at the request or request of the project manager. This increases the total up to 45 hours per week. Therefore, when discussing the speed of work we always stipulate a range of additional hours per week.
We also have the practice of Turbo mode in the case of ASAP or on the eve of the deployment for production. The guys, by prior agreement, can work more than 10 hours a day and on weekends. In this case the team logs double the amount of hours spent into the time tracker. This practice works for a limited time period no more than 1-2 weeks and only in agreement between the project manager and the team.
We always put together a dedicated team strictly from the company guys. Our company is an outsourcing company and the guys are used to working on different projects all the time. For example, one developer can take part in from 3 to 10 projects in a year. When we put together a long term dedicated team that should work on a project for 1-3 or more years, we select guys who are ready to work on one project for a long time.
Of course, you can always ask to add additional guys to the team. We can also replace the team members at our own discretion, both to increase the quality of work and for organizational reasons. In the event that an guy is fired or is about to leave the company, we will replace him with a comparable substitute.
In the case of the Dedicated team:
We do not provide outstaffing services, we are a full cycle outsourcing company. We are proud that we can guarantee the quality, timing and stability of work for many years.
Development approach
The work team always consists of at least three people: a developer (frontend, backend or full stack), a Project Manager or a Team Lead (hereinafter PM) and a QA. It is often the case that if a project is very dynamic there are involved two QAs or even more in order to ensure better performance and flexibility.
