01 Dedicated team

A dedicated development team that owns your product's delivery

A Tailwebs dedicated development team is a product squad: a product manager, a designer, two to three developers and QA, working only on your product with weekly releases. The range is ₹6–12 lakh a month. A team member is assigned within 10 days of approval, with no hiring cost, and 200+ AI agents work in our delivery process.

02 Is it a fit?

When a dedicated team is the right software development outsourcing service

A dedicated team fits when you have a product goal but no team to run it, or need a second stream that manages itself.

Signals

  1. A validated idea and a prioritised feature list, with no one to build it.
  2. A roadmap that has outgrown your in-house team.
  3. An established company launching a digital product without a product team.
  4. A research or policy institution running a multi-year website, portal or dashboard programme.
  5. An outgoing vendor to replace, with the product still live.
  6. A move from MVP to version two.
  7. A web platform adding a mobile app as a parallel stream.
  8. An AI feature programme run alongside your normal releases.

03 Team shapes

What's in a dedicated software development team?

The core shape is the Product Squad: a product manager, a designer, two to three developers and QA, working only on your product.

Core shape

Product Squad

Plans, designs, builds and tests your product, with weekly releases you can review.

₹6–12 lakh a month

$7,000–14,000 a month

  1. 01

    Product manager

    Runs the backlog with you and reports every week.

  2. 02

    Designer

    UX and UI for every release.

  3. 03

    Developers

    Matched to the product. Mobile: Flutter or React Native. Backend: Python, Node.js, Ruby on Rails or PHP. AI: LLM integrations.

    Native Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) engineers are available when the product needs them.

  4. 04

    QA

    Tests every release before it ships.

Other shapes

  • For an MVP: a product manager, a designer, two developers and QA, within the Product Squad range. The MVP Launch package is the fixed-price route.
  • For scaling a live product: three or more developers, quoted for the roles you need.

Kept on long term, a squad works much like an offshore development center for your product, without you setting one up. Skills by stack are on the role pages, starting with mobile app developers. Monthly developer rates are in our guide to hiring developers in India, and every package is on our pricing page.

04 Who runs what

Who runs the sprints, and what do you decide?

You keep the product decisions, and the squad runs the delivery work around them.

01

The squad's product manager

  • Runs the sprints, the estimates and the release plan.
02

You

  • Sets the priorities, accepts each release and makes the product decisions.
03

Shared

  • The backlog, which you and the squad keep together.

How our projects run in general is on our process page.

05 Progress

How will you see progress?

Through a release you can try every week, plus a report, a demo and access to the work itself.

  1. 01

    A weekly release

    A working version you can open and try, so feedback lands while it is cheap to act on.

  2. 02

    A sprint report

    A short written report at the end of each sprint: what shipped, what is next and any risks.

  3. 03

    A demo

    A demo of the working build at the end of each sprint, run by the squad's product manager with you.

  4. 04

    Access to the work

    Access to the repository, the task board and the team chat from day one, so you see progress as it happens.

06 Starting a team

How to hire a dedicated development team

Five steps take you from a first call to sprint one. They differ from hiring one developer, because a squad is scoped before it starts.

  1. A call

    About the product, the roadmap and what the squad should own.

  2. Discovery, or a brief

    A Discovery Sprint (₹1.5–3 lakh, 2–3 weeks) if the scope is unclear, or a written brief if it is clear.

  3. A squad proposal

    The roles, the monthly cost and the first release plan, in writing.

  4. You approve

    You approve the squad proposal.

  5. Sprint one

    The squad starts on the first release in the plan.

Building a first version? See MVP development. Hiring one engineer instead? The single-hire steps are on the hire hub.

07 Scaling and handover

Can the team grow, shrink or hand over?

Yes: add roles as the roadmap grows, scale down or pause on the shared notice term, and take the work in-house with a full handover.

The notice term is in the hire terms. After launch, Care and Growth covers maintenance, monitoring and small changes at ₹50,000–2 lakh a month.

What you get at handoverDraft terms
  1. Source codeIn your repository
  2. Documentation
  3. CredentialsHanded over to your team
  4. A walkthrough sessionFor the people taking it over
