Before we begin

Your questions, answered.

What to know about dedicated development teams, from project scope to ongoing support.

01What is a dedicated development team?

A dedicated team is a group of engineers (and often designers and PMs) who work exclusively for you under your direction — like full-time hires without the overhead.

02How is this different from staff augmentation?

Dedicated teams are typically larger, more cross-functional, and operate as a unit. Staff augmentation is usually individual specialists added to your team.

03How fast can a team be ready?

Most teams are vetted, matched, and onboarded within 1–3 weeks of contract signing.

04Can we interview the engineers?

Absolutely. Final hiring decisions are always yours — we shortlist, you choose.

05Do they work in our time zone?

Yes. We staff teams in your time zone or with daily overlap windows that match your rituals.

06How do you ensure quality?

We assess technical ability, communication and project fit, then use code reviews and regular feedback during delivery. Any changes to the team and replacement terms are agreed in the engagement contract.

07Can we scale the team up or down?

Yes. Add roles, rotate skill sets, or scale down with reasonable notice — flexibility is the point.
