IT outsourcing models: Fixed Price vs Time-and-Materials vs Dedicated Teams

On the majority of our projects, we use the SCRUM methodology with 2-week sprints. For each sprint, the essential activities are sprint planning, daily Scrum meetings, sprint review, and retrospective session.

In cases where the precise delivery schedule is expected, we additionally create and maintain the Gantt charts. Though Gantt comes from a waterfall methodology, it works pretty well for short timelines, let's say for one sprint.

In our software development practice, we use a variety of tools, such as Asana, Jira, Confluence, Monday, Trello, and others. We can work in a project management software of your choice.

Before any design and development stage, we need to clearly understand your objectives, the needs of end users, and project scope. After analyzing the project requirements (if available), we'll most likely understand all the points listed above. In case you don't have project requirements ready, or they lack many pieces, we'll ask you a series of questions during a video meeting. We'll then perform a discovery phase together with our lead web engineers and finally provide you with a document that summarizes our understanding of a project. The discovery phase is billed separately unless it is very short.

After agreeing on the project scope, we make an estimation and suggest the delivery plan. Upon your approval of the estimate and suggested roadmap, we agree on a payment plan and sign the contract. Finally, we engage you in our team as a product owner, and the work gets started.

When looking for web engineers, you might be tempted to work with freelancers. At first glance, the benefits might be cost savings, fewer people involved, process made more simple. However, in the long run, managing a freelancer takes more time and effort than working with a web development studio. Even though web developers need to be extremely attentive to detail, test deliverables thoroughly and be able to communicate with the customers without third parties involved, it is undeniably true that they work much more effectively when they are not involved in management and in-depth testing across all the possible browsers and resolutions. In addition, when hiring web engineers, a web development studio is conducting a thorough vetting process to ensure only qualified candidates join their team.

In our company, every new developer who joins our team, first works on the internal company's project where they can prove themselves as true professionals. Thus, when you decide to work with a web development studio, you can count on more things being taken care of than just your software development needs. These are UI/UX design, project management, QA (both automated and manual), marketing strategy advice. Even those web development companies that do not provide digital marketing services, very often can give you a bunch of helpful recommendations that are proven to work. Unlike freelance contractors, they are really interested in becoming your development partner who cares about your business success.
