When comparing Scrums.com to an agency, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Time & Cost to Hire

What is the time to hire, and how much is this going to cost me? Can an agency provide me with the resources I need in the time I need them?

Just 10 days to hire
Scrums.com has access to 100’s of vetted developers in-house, ensuring we have the developers for you. At short notice. Without any hiring costs.

Agency
‍‍1-4 Weeks
When building a development team through an agency, it typically takes between 1-4 weeks to assemble. Agencies generally charge a deposit or “success fee” before your team kicks off.

2. Team Cost

What is my team going to cost me? Can an agency provide me with quality developers at competitive prices?

We have direct access to top talent In lower cost jurisdictions. Through these lower costs we are able to beat your down the road supplier on price. Whilst competing on price, our quality promises a consistency of delivery.

Agency

Although it may seem relatively straightforward to predict the cost of a software development agency. It always costs more than you’d have planned due to missed deadlines and a lack of ownership and accountability.

3. Scalability

Can an Agency solve my changing development challenges as I scale?

Scrums.com offers infinite scalability and all we need is a 1-month notice period when changing between tiers within either the Level 1 to Level 4 plans or Custom. It is our intention to scale with your changing development needs.

Agency

Agencies are often limited in their scope of expertise and are biased toward the services they can manage meaning you will be kept waiting on getting the help you need when the opportunity is hot.

4. Daily Communication

Can an agency provide me with clear communication and line of sight to my team?

Scrums.com ensures that your team and all communication are fully synchronous. We achieve this by giving you full access to your team and tools (Slack, Jira, Client Portal, Repobot) with live tracking and updates. Along with this, we invite you to daily scrum ceremonies and all relevant meetings. Essentially, we become a bolt-on of your business.

Agency

Communication with Agencies can be tough. Firstly, you need to make sure that they are proficient in English. Secondly, there is often a lack of customer focus making it difficult for you to remain a top priority.

5. Guaranteed Quality

How can an agency guarantee to provide me with the development quality I need?

Our stringent vetting processes (technical, psychometric and cultural) ensure that only the best in class individuals are hired into our ecosystem. This means that you can trust your hand-picked team to deliver on your quality expectations.

Agency

Part of the beauty of an outsourcing network is that you can bring in some great software talent. This talent is often quite niched in the technologies they can manage which becomes restricting when wanting to branch out.
