A Dedicated Development Team for One Product
A dedicated team serves one product. It usually holds a lead, several developers and a tester, follows your backlog, and puts every line of code into repositories and accounts that belong to you.
Who is in the team and who owns what
How hours, meetings and scaling work
Overlap matters more than location. Agree a block of shared hours each day, long enough for planning and questions, and let the rest of the day run on its own. The team joins your standup, your sprint planning and your review, working in your tracker and your chat, so nobody has to learn a second set of habits. Nothing here is a new habit.
When a dedicated team is the wrong choice
A dedicated team costs the same each month whether your backlog is full or running thin, which hurts most for products with long quiet stretches. One feature suits a project better. Growing the team takes notice, because the person you need may not be free in the very week you ask for them.
Frequently asked questions
Can a dedicated team work in a different time zone from mine?
Yes, if some hours overlap. That daily overlap is spent on planning, review and questions, and the remaining hours run without interruption, so developers get long stretches of focus. Without any overlap, it will frustrate you.
Who owns the code a dedicated team writes?
You do, from the first commit. Code goes into a repository under your organisation, deployment runs on cloud accounts you hold, and nothing needs handing back at the end because nothing was ever held elsewhere.
Can the team be made bigger or smaller later?
Yes, on notice set in the contract. Adding a person takes time because someone suitable must be free and then learn your code, so ask early and say plainly which skills the next person needs. Shrinking is quicker, after handover notes.
How is a dedicated team different from a freelancer?
A team survives one person leaving. Its lead reviews the work and its tester checks it, so delivery continues, whereas a freelancer is simpler to start and suits small, well-defined jobs you can review yourself.
