Flexible project structures
Projects typically follow one of two models:
- A Project Model for when the project is clearly defined in scope and time. Under this model, we work together prior to the project to formulate a detailed plan based on your needs. We then assemble a team of programming engineers for a limited period of time with a Project Lead responsible for the quality and timing of deliveries.
- A Retainer Model for when the client requires an extension of the team with flexibility in the scope of tasks. Under this model, a team will be put together upon your request. Its tasks can be defined and modified on the go, just as you would with an internal team. You will have the guarantee that the resources will be retained for you over the long term.
