What is a Dedicated Development Team?
Dedicated Development Team is a turnkey team of highly qualified analysts, web and mobile developers and testers that is assigned to your project within a Time & Material engagement model. The T&M model offers flexibility and transparency because tasks and priorities are determined and changed iteratively.
The project team is put together individually before the start of work for each project. A typical team includes a project manager, system analyst, software developers, and testers.
