Fixed Scope Project or a Dedicated Team?
The engagement model decides how you pay, how you manage the work and how easily the scope can change.
A fixed scope project is usually the better fit when
- You can describe what you want built
- You want a defined deliverable to approve
- You prefer less day to day management
- Requirements are unlikely to change much
| Consideration | Fixed scope project | Dedicated team |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Agreed in writing up front | Evolves with the backlog |
| Management effort from you | Lower | Higher, you direct priorities |
| Changing requirements | Handled through agreed changes | Easy to reprioritise |
| Budget certainty | Known against the scope | Depends on team size over time |
| Long term product work | Less suited | Well suited |
| Best for | Defined builds with a clear end | Ongoing roadmaps |

Outsourcing cost depends on what is built and how we work together, not on a standard rate card. We confirm these drivers in discovery.
Scope and complexity
The size of the product and the difficulty of its features set the effort.
Engagement model
Project delivery, a dedicated team and team extension each charge differently.
Team composition
Senior engineers, designers and testers each affect the total.
Time zone overlap
Longer shared hours can mean adjusted schedules for the team.

Frequent changes to requirements add rework, so we manage them as agreed changes.

Wider testing and post-release support add to the plan.
