In this article, you will learn about possible collaboration scenarios from SPD Group and, hopefully, will be able to choose the most suitable engagement model for your business project!

Managed Product Model

If you want complete control over the development process and maximum predictability, this model might be perfect for you. Full-cycle product development is offered here: from idea validation and wireframing to implementation and support. This model is suitable if you know exactly what product you want, with precise business goals, deadlines, and budget. The team from SPD Group will take the role of software solution developer, becoming a technical partner of a product from its inception, through the development stage to the maintenance phase, plus ongoing development of the new features and continuous optimization after release if required.

This is the best choice if you want to know tangible business results and development costs from the very beginning. You will receive a complete product on schedule, with detailed reports and transparency for each phase of development.

Team composition
The basic team that will be formed to build your product from scratch consists of:

• Business Analyst (BA)
• Project Manager
• Designer
• Solution Architect
• External Technical Lead/Consultant

For projects involving, for example, Artificial Intelligence, the basic team may also include a Data Analyst, Data Engineer, or Data Scientist. In any case, a dedicated team will be formed to carry on the development process and specialists could be added if they are needed to solve specific challenges. We understand the importance of keeping the core team engaged the whole time and we commit to it, making changes only if necessary.
