# A dedicated software development team, assigned and kept there.

Ask six vendors for a dedicated software development team and you will get six different arrangements, some of which involve the same engineer working on three other products this week. Ours means what it sounds like. The specialists are assigned to your roadmap only, they stay assigned, and an Azendo service delivery manager runs them.

A team assigned to one roadmap and kept there, year over year.

## What a dedicated development team means at Azendo

The word gets stretched in this industry, so here is the specific version.

The test for whether a dedicated software development team is genuinely dedicated is simple: ask who else the engineer worked for last month. If the answer is another client, the arrangement is a shared pool with a different name on the invoice.

Team composition is reviewed monthly rather than fixed at signature. A team that started as two engineers and a designer frequently needs QA by the second year, and that change goes through your service delivery manager rather than a new procurement round.

**Assigned, not shared**Your specialists work on your product. They are not quietly split across two other clients between sprints.

**The same faces**The engineer who learns your codebase in month one is the engineer still in it in year three.

**One [service delivery manager](https://azendo.co/how-it-works/)**One person plans, checks quality and reports. Not a rotating account contact.

**Capacity that moves**Add hours or a discipline at the next monthly cycle without reopening the agreement.

**Working from our floor**Our offices, our equipment, our network. Nothing subcontracted onward.

## What a dedicated development team costs per month

The same arithmetic as a single specialist, multiplied. We count each person’s working hours across a year, subtract leave and public holidays, divide by twelve, and that average becomes the [committed monthly capacity](https://azendo.co/pricing/). One invoice, same figure every month.

One agreement covers the whole team regardless of how many disciplines it spans. One monthly fee, one committed capacity in hours, one service delivery manager accountable across all of it. There is no per-person line and no separate management charge.

Most teams settle between four and twelve specialists. Below four the coordination overhead rarely justifies a full delivery manager; above twelve we would usually suggest splitting into two teams with separate roadmap ownership.

## Questions people ask.

Is a dedicated software development team the same as staff augmentation? 

No, and the difference is worth the two minutes. Staff augmentation places people under your management. A dedicated team at Azendo stays under our service delivery manager, who answers for the output. You set priorities, we run delivery.

How is this different from hiring in-house? 

You get the continuity of an in-house team without carrying recruitment, HR, equipment, office space or the management overhead.

Can a dedicated team cover more than one discipline? 

Most do. Development plus QA plus DevOps under one agreement is the common shape.

How fast can it start? 

Four to six weeks from signed scope. You get a date in the proposal, not a range.

What if someone on the team leaves? 

Sourcing and ramp-up happen on our side, and the fee does not change while it does.
