What is a dedicated project team structure?
When you hire a dedicated team, you hire the services of an autonomously-managed team of engineers that will take care of your project. As such, a dedicated team needs a complete structure that can tackle the project as per your requirements and following your feedback. To do so, these teams usually include key roles that lead the project to successful completion. These include:
• Frontend engineers: Responsible for developing the “visible” part of the project, these professionals are the ones that code and test user interface elements and functionality.
• Backend engineers: These are the experts that take care of everything that happens backstage. In other words, they focus on developing the inner logic and the background components.
• QA engineers: These professionals are in charge of the quality of the entire development lifecycle. They don’t just ensure that the product is as bug-free as possible but also that the processes used to build it have optimal quality
• UX/UI designers: They are responsible for ensuring that the user experience is intuitive, simple, and engaging.
• DevOps engineers: Professionals that work with the developers on the team to better coordinate development, operations, and testing efforts.
• Business analysts: They serve as bridges between the IT team and the business, evaluating processes, determining requirements, and offering suggestions and reports to executives.
• Project managers: The leaders of the development team, they initiate, plan, design, execute, and monitor the entire development process.
At BairesDev, we personalize our dedicated teams to your unique business needs, which means that this structure can look different for your project. Our main goal, however, remains the same – to gather the perfect team to create the digital solution you’re looking for.

Dedicated Team vs. Time and Materials Model
When outsourcing your development, you’ll have to decide on an engagement model, a structured plan that defines the basis of the collaboration between you, the client, and BairesDev, the software development company. This engagement model establishes your needs while ensuring the level of control, flexibility, and responsibility involved in the project development. Additionally, any given engagement model has its impact on pricing.
There are 3 common engagement models: dedicate teams, time and materials, and fixed price.
- Dedicated TeamA dedicated team model is mostly used for long-term projects with unclear requirements and potential changes in scope. It’s also common when the client doesn’t have the necessary skills to tackle the project at hand. The pricing model in dedicated teams is often monthly payments based on the team’s size.
A dedicated team model implies the following:
- The outsourcing company manages the project and the team but offers multiple feedback options for the client.
- The outsourcing company is responsible for gathering the right professionals in a dedicated team to meet the client’s needs and requirements.
- Client and team coordinate the project’s workflow, including development schedules and deliverables.
Pros of a dedicated team model:
- More affordable option than hiring an in-house team.
- Team dedicated exclusively to the project at hand.
- Continuous development and delivery for improved flexibility and scalability.
- Faster workflow when compared to more strictly planned models.
Cons of a dedicated team model:
- Efficient only for long-term projects.
- Less control over the development.
- Time and Materials modelIn this model, you only pay for the time and effort the developers spend on your project working on predefined features and functionality. It’s a flexible model that’s widely considered to be the most convenient, as you only pay for actual work performed on a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly basis, for example).
A time and materials model implies the following:
- The client has to provide a precise scope and oversee the project to ensure the work being performed is relevant.
- Cooperation between the client and the development team is closer than with the dedicated team model, as the client needs to be more involved in the decisions.
Pros of a time and materials model:
- Flexible approach to development that gives room for changing requirements.
- Highly scalable and rapidly adaptable to new needs.
- Tight time management that ensures a faster development.
- Increased cost control and budget flexibility.
- Closer monitoring of the development by the client.
Cons of a time and materials model:
- Difficult to accurately estimate the required time for project completion.
- Closer monitoring implies less time for the client to focus on other business tasks.
- Flexible timeframes make it difficult to define a finish date.
- Loose client controls can lead to wasted time and inflated costs.
Dedicated team vs. Fixed-price
The fixed-price model is the third most common engagement model for development (the others being the dedicated team and the time and materials models). Here’s how it compares to the dedicated team model, the most common of the engagement models.
Dedicated Team
A dedicated team model is mostly used for long-term projects with unclear requirements and potential changes in scope. It’s also common when the client doesn’t have the necessary skills to tackle the project at hand. The pricing model in dedicated teams is often monthly payments based on the team’s size.
It implies:
- The outsourcing company manages the project and the team but offers multiple feedback options for the client.
- The outsourcing company is responsible for gathering the right professionals in a dedicated team to meet the client’s needs and requirements.
- Client and team coordinate the project’s workflow, including development schedules and deliverables.
Pros:
- More affordable option than hiring an in-house team.
- Team dedicated exclusively to the project at hand.
- Continuous development and delivery for improved flexibility and scalability.
- Faster workflow when compared to more strictly planned models.
Cons
- Efficient only for long-term projects.
- Less control over the development.
Fixed-price Model
A fixed price model (also known as fixed budget model) takes place when the client and the development company agree on a fixed cost for the entire project. That means that by using this model, you’ll pay only that predefined sum regardless of the amount of time or resources that the company needed to complete the project. It’s mostly used for short-term projects, especially if they are small or medium-size or have limited scope.
It implies:
- This model is riskier for the development team, as any change or problem during development will directly affect its profit margin. This, in turn, can affect the relationship between client and team, especially if there are too many changes during development.
- Because of the previous point, the scope of work, time, resources, and project costs should be fixed in the contract and all details made clear in advance.
- Criteria for performance and deadlines have to be spelled out before any work is done.
- Issue resolution also has to be pre-agreed between the two parties before the development takes place.
Pros:
- No surprise costs, as the final price is agreed before development starts.
- The workflow is predefined and agreed by both parties, meaning that there shouldn’t be any issues in delivering the project on time.
- Client’s involvement is minimal, as the project is led by a project manager.
Cons
- Increased risks related to minimal control and challenges around monitoring compliance with the expected results.
- Reduced communication between client and development team.
- Definition of requirements and agreement on workflow takes a long time before the work takes place.
When is the Dedicated Team Model a Good Choice?
Given its flexibility and scalability, the dedicated team model is a great fit for many projects. However, you shouldn’t see it as a one-size-fits-all solution. Dedicated teams work best in the following cases:
- In long-term projects with broad scopes and potential changes in requirements.
- When dealing with a one-time tech project that doesn’t justify hiring an in-house team.
- When the in-house team is focused on other development projects and can’t be further burdened with more work.
- When your in-house team lacks experience and/or expertise related to the project at hand.
