Technology — Dedicated product teams
ProDevs assembles engineers, designers, product managers and QA into a dedicated development team that works inside your company. If you would rather hand over the brief, our managed product team builds and ships the software, from architecture to deployment. You choose the model.
01 Three ways to engage
The people are the same in each model. What changes is who sets priorities day to day, and whether you are paying for a team or for an outcome.
01
Your roadmap, our people.
We recruit, assess and assemble a team matched to your stack and the way you work. They sit inside your tools and your roadmap; ProDevs handles payroll, compliance and retention behind them.
02
Your brief, our team.
You bring the product and the outcome you need. We take it from architecture and design through development and testing to deployment, then support it after launch.
03
We ship it, then staff it.
Our product team builds and launches the first version. Then the team moves in-house with the code, so the people who know the product keep running it.
Not sure which fits? Many clients start with us building their product, then move the team in-house. The engagement can change as your needs do.
02 What a team looks like
A team is sized to the stage of the product, not to a package. Here are four example shapes; yours can start as one and grow into another.
Whatever the shape, the team works in your tools: Jira, Slack, GitHub.
| Team shape | Product manager | Product designer | Engineers | QA engineer | DevOps engineer | Solutions architect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

03 How delivery runs
When ProDevs owns delivery, every build follows the same five stages. A dedicated team inside your company follows your process instead.
The business problem, the users, the constraints and how we will know it worked.
Requirements, architecture, key user journeys and a delivery plan for a scoped first release.
Short cycles. You see working software every week, not a status report.
Testing, security review, production infrastructure and a controlled launch.
Measure what people do, fix what gets in their way and keep building.
04 Technologies and specialisations
Teams are matched to the technology you already run, or to the one the product calls for.
05 What drives cost
We scope honestly: no hidden fees and no surprise invoices. Whether you need one team member or a full product build, you get a clear estimate first.
Your code, your IP, your product. We sign an NDA before every engagement.
From a single senior engineer to a full cross-functional squad. We size the team to your product stage and budget.
A dedicated team on a monthly retainer, or fixed-price product delivery. You can switch between them as your needs change.
React, Node, Python, AI/ML, mobile, cloud: we match specialists to your technical requirements.
Post-launch maintenance, feature iterations, team scaling and knowledge transfer.

With a dedicated team, the people work inside your company: your tools, your rituals and your roadmap, with you directing the work. With managed delivery you give us a brief and ProDevs runs the build, from architecture and sprints to testing and deployment, and shows you progress every week.
ProDevs does. The team works directly with you, in your tools and on your roadmap, while we handle payroll, compliance and retention behind the scenes. When you are ready, the team can be handed over in-house.
A dedicated team is billed as a monthly retainer. Product delivery is fixed-price. In both cases you receive a clear estimate before we start. Four things move the number: team size and composition, the engagement model, skill level and stack, and how much ongoing support you want.
Yes. Many clients start with ProDevs building the product and then move the team in-house. You can also add engineers as the roadmap grows, or reduce the team when it shrinks.
You do. The code, the IP and the product are yours, and we sign an NDA before every engagement.
We stay. Post-launch maintenance, feature iterations, team scaling and knowledge transfer are part of how we work, whether the product is run by our team or handed over to yours.
