Introduction: Why Dedicated Development Teams Matter
Scaling software development efficiently is one of the biggest challenges businesses face today. Traditional hiring takes too long, freelance solutions are unreliable, and generic outsourcing firms often lack transparency and flexibility.
Many companies turn to dedicated development teams as a solution, but not all dedicated team models are created equal. Businesses frequently encounter:
- Rigid contracts with little flexibility in team structure.
- Lack of integration with internal workflows.
- Slow onboarding that delays project execution.
- Inconsistent team quality leads to knowledge gaps.
Scrums.com takes a different approach. Our dedicated team model is designed for businesses that want full control over their development process while still leveraging the benefits of an external team.
Common Problems with Other Dedicated Development Teams
1. Lack of Full Team Integration
Many outsourcing firms provide a team in name only—but these teams operate in siloed environments that don’t fully integrate with a business’s existing workflows.
- Teams often work on their own infrastructure instead of embedding it into the client’s systems.
- Limited collaboration tools create inefficiencies in communication.
- Project alignment can become disjointed, leading to misinterpretations and wasted time.
How Scrums.com Is Different
- 100% embedded teams: Scrums.com developers work directly inside your environment, following your processes and tools.
- Seamless collaboration: Our teams integrate with your workflow from day one, using your infrastructure, not ours.
- Acting as an extension of your business: We don’t just deliver code—we function as part of your organization.
2. Rigid, One-Size-Fits-All Team Structures
Many dedicated team providers offer fixed, inflexible team compositions with no ability to customize roles based on project needs.
- Clients are often locked into a rigid team structure that doesn’t align with their evolving requirements.
- Swapping out underperforming team members is difficult or costly.
- The team’s skill set may not be fully aligned with the project scope.
How Scrums.com Is Different
- Custom-built teams: You choose the right mix of engineers, product managers, designers, and QA specialists based on your needs.
- Tech-stack specialization: We offer teams with expertise in JavaScript, C#, Java, Python, PHP, and more to match your technology stack.
- Flexibility in team composition: Need a frontend developer today and a DevOps engineer tomorrow? We scale teams as needed.
- Free team member replacements: If a developer isn’t meeting expectations, we replace them at no extra cost.
3. Slow Onboarding and Delayed Kickoff
With some competitors, onboarding a dedicated team can take weeks or months, delaying projects and increasing time-to-market.
- Long recruitment and matching processes slow down development.
- Unclear onboarding frameworks make it difficult for teams to ramp up quickly.
- Time wasted on re-training external teams to align with company objectives.
How Scrums.com Is Different
- Fast onboarding—teams are ready to work within 1 month of signing the agreement.
- Pre-vetted developers with proven track records in delivering successful projects.
- Meet & greet before kickoff to establish alignment between your team and ours.
4. Lack of Scalability
Many companies need development teams that can scale up or down based on demand. However, many providers:
- Lock clients into long-term contracts without flexibility.
- Offer fixed team sizes that don’t adjust to changing needs.
- Struggle to keep up with evolving business priorities.
How Scrums.com Is Different
- Scale your team up or down on demand—add more developers when needed, and reduce capacity when things slow down.
- Option to increase team velocity by upgrading your subscription.
- Add-on managed services are available so your core team stays focused.
