Our Dedicated Teams are fluent in JavaScript, C#, Python, Java, and PHP — across web, mobile, DevOps, and AI. We match the stack to your project’s needs.
Teams typically go live in 21 days, including matching, onboarding, and alignment with your tools and workflows.
Choose teams of 2, 4, or 6 engineers. Each team is fully embedded into your environment and scalable based on delivery velocity. Need an additional specialist role in your the team like an AI Architect? We can help with that too.
No — for Dedicated Teams, Scrums.com assembles and assigns the team on your behalf based on your tech stack, domain, and goals. Unlike the Augmented model, there’s no interview process — but any team member can be replaced quickly if needed, ensuring continuity without compromising performance.
Yes. We offer geo-located or remote engineers — based on your compliance, security, or collaboration needs.
You lead the team. We handle matching, logistics, HR, and employment. Full control, zero overhead. Did we mention we beat the industry average on retention?
We handle replacements quickly and at no extra cost — ensuring consistent performance.
Absolutely. We deploy in your time zone or staggered zones for full-day coverage.
We offer both fixed-term and flexible contracts. Our flexible model runs in perpetuity and can be cancelled at any time with 3 months’ notice — giving you long-term capability without long-term lock-in.
We do — but highly specialized tech stacks (e.g., machine learning ops, blockchain, or legacy systems) are typically delivered via our Augmented model, which allows for role-by-role placement. Let’s scope the right fit for your team.
A Product Manager isn’t included by default, but you can add one to your Dedicated Team at cost. This is a great option if you need support with sprint planning, backlog management, or stakeholder alignment — without hiring in-house.
For Dedicated Teams, all members are full-time. If you need part-time capacity or burst delivery, explore our On-Demand Solutions.
Yes — but that falls under our PDAAS (Product Delivery as a Service) model. With Dedicated Teams, you lead the work. If you’d prefer Scrums.com to handle delivery management, architecture, QA, and team leadership, PDAAS is the right fit.
Dedicated Teams are best for full-team, roadmap-aligned delivery. If you just need to augment your own team with 1–2 specific roles, our Augmented offering is more flexible for that.
