Teams
A dedicated development team that works only on your roadmap
Staff augmentation usually means a stream of anonymous CVs. A dedicated team means the same engineers, week after week, who know your domain well enough to challenge a requirement.
Outcomes
- Capacity in weeks rather than a six-month hiring cycle
- Continuity of knowledge across the engagement
- Predictable monthly cost with a notice period
- A team you can scale up or down against roadmap
Teams
Where it is used
Roadmap acceleration
Your product direction, our delivery capacity.
Capability gap
Mobile, AI or cloud skills you do not want to hire permanently.
Maintenance and evolution
Ongoing ownership of a system after its initial build.
What we deliver
- Named engineers with published profiles
- Your tools, your board, your standups
- Technical lead accountable for delivery quality
- Documented handover at any point
- Flexible scaling with 30 days notice
Who this is for
- Product teams with a roadmap longer than their capacity for the next six to twelve months.
- Companies that want the same engineers over time rather than a rotating supplier bench.
- CTOs who keep architecture ownership in-house and need execution capacity.
When this is the wrong choice
- Two-week tasks — the ramp-up cost is not worth it for short work.
- Teams with no product owner available to answer questions within a working day.
Problems this solves
Roadmap stalls behind hiring
Capacity arrives in weeks instead of quarters, and shrinks again without redundancy processes when the roadmap changes.
Context is lost every engagement
The same named engineers stay on your system, so domain knowledge compounds instead of resetting.
Velocity is invisible
You get the same board, the same repository and the same standups as your internal team, not a monthly status PDF.
Architecture and integration
- Engineers work inside your repositories and CI, not a parallel codebase.
- Code review by your team stays mandatory where you want it.
- Security and access follow your policies, including regional data constraints.
- Documentation is a delivery requirement so knowledge survives team changes.
How delivery runs
- 01
Team profile
We agree the exact roles, seniority and the domains they need to understand before proposing anyone.
- 02
Named introductions
You meet and approve every engineer. Nobody is substituted without your agreement.
- 03
Embedded working
Your tools, your ceremonies, your definition of done, with a delivery lead accountable for throughput.
- 04
Quarterly review
Scale up, scale down or wind the team down with notice, based on the roadmap rather than a contract cliff.
Realistic timeline
Weeks 1–2
Role definition, candidate introductions and approval.
Weeks 3–4
Onboarding, first production-quality pull requests.
Month 2 onwards
Full velocity with delivery metrics reviewed with you each sprint.
Build or buy
Buy something existing when
- You need a single defined deliverable with an end date
- The work has no follow-on roadmap
Build custom when
- You have continuous product work
- You need retained domain knowledge
- You want the option to hire the capability in-house later
For a single scoped deliverable, a fixed-scope project is usually cheaper than a dedicated team.
What moves the price
Seniority mix
A team of three seniors costs more per month and less per outcome than six mixed engineers on an unfamiliar domain.
Domain complexity
Regulated or heavily integrated domains need longer ramp-up before the team is at full speed.
Engagement length
Longer commitments reduce the share of the cost spent on ramp-up rather than delivery.
Where projects go wrong
Under-used capacity
A dedicated team needs a groomed backlog. We review upcoming work two sprints ahead and flag when the pipeline is thin.
Two-speed quality
Shared definition of done and shared review standards, agreed in week one, prevent an internal/external quality split.
Indicative budget
Rates vary by seniority and market; we quote per named person.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Do we manage the team?+
Your choice. Many clients run the backlog themselves; others use our delivery lead. Both are common.
What happens if it does not work out?+
Thirty days notice, documented handover, repository access you already had.
You already have the idea. Let's define what comes next.
