1. Project scoping
Project Scope Definition: Delimiting Project Boundaries, Objectives, and Outcomes This critical process involves setting project boundaries, outlining objectives, and specifying deliverables. It necessitates task identification and resource allocation, budget estimation, and timeline determination. This comprehensive approach offers a lucid understanding of the project's scope and its intended achievements.
2. Proposal preparation
Our expert candidate vetting process ensures we present only the most suitable professionals for your project. Upon reviewing their profiles, we promptly forward a proposal detailing the selected team members' backgrounds and our collaborative strategy. If the proposed talents do not align with your expectations, we modify the CV screening criteria based on your feedback, expanding our search to provide additional options tailored to your requirements.
3. Team onboarding and SLA negotiation
Accepting our proposal initiates the process whereby we assemble your designated team, proceed with the project launch, and delineate roles and tasks for each participant. The scope of work encompasses defining deliverables such as documents, prototypes, and finalized solutions. Additionally, collaboration format, key performance indicators (KPIs) for reporting purposes, and other essential aspects are decided upon, ensuring a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA).
4. Cooperation start

Guide for Building Your Dedicated Software Development Team
Step 1. Analyze software development requirements
To streamline outsourcing decisions, assess which component of your project requires attention: a singular task, multiple tasks, or the entire initiative. If equipped with an in-house software development team, accurately identify the specific competencies and positions necessary for coverage. For those considering outsourcing a complete project, engaging a vendor initially is advisable to ascertain required resources.
Step 2. Vendor research
For successful IT outsourcing, opt for companies with a proven track record in projects resembling your own, particularly within your specific industry. Such firms are often equipped to manage software compliance with regulations like HIPAA or KYC/AML. To assess their credibility, scrutinize client testimonials and reviews on platforms such as Clutch for unbiased insights from past clients. Look for detailed descriptions of project management methodologies, collaboration practices, sample documentation, security, and quality control measures provided on the vendor's website. Additionally, certifications like ISO 9001 (for service quality) and ISO 27001 (for data security) can signify a reliable vendor's commitment to maintaining high standards of performance and security.
Step 3. Proposal request
Compose a Request for Proposal (RFP) outlining your project specifications, including scope, budget, timeline, and assessment criteria. For those inexperienced with RFP creation, seek assistance by acquiring an RFP template from a trusted vendor to facilitate the process. Distribute the RFP among pre-selected vendors, establishing a deadline for proposal submissions.
Step 4. Proposal review
Assess proposals using the development plan, technical approach, budget, timeframe, team structure, and each vendor's background. Request meetings with prospective team members to gauge their proficiency and cultural compatibility. Contemplate assigning test tasks or mini-projects as an evaluation method.
Step 5. Negotiate contract
Establish a comprehensive work scope, detailing deliverables, milestones, and acceptance criteria. Reach consensus on payment terms and timeline, aligning with project milestones. Include confidentiality, data protection, and intellectual property rights clauses in the contract. Define Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for performance metrics, response times, and quality standards. Establish conditions for terminating the contract by either party, outlining respective obligations and responsibilities upon termination.
Step 6. Onboard dedicated staff
To ensure a seamless transition with your in-house team and other stakeholders, introduce the dedicated team. Equip them with secure access to essential tools, repositories, development environments, and communication platforms such as Jira, GitHub, and Slack. Simultaneously, share all pertinent project documentation and knowledge, fostering an environment where both teams can work collaboratively for efficient transfer of undocumented insights. Establishing clear role definitions for each team member is crucial. Implement a communication plan that includes daily stand-ups, weekly reviews, strategic onsite visits, reporting forms and schedules, and escalation procedures to streamline information exchange. This structure promotes transparency, fosters collaboration, and ensures project progress remains on track.
