How would you structure the development team?

The following calculation is a quick overview of an average monthly hours total for the basic team setup at QSD. We assume that the month consists of 4 one-week sprints. A developer works about 7 hours per day, so about 140 hours per month. The monthly amount of payable hours of a Scrum Master is usually 15% of monthly hours logged by developers.

2 Developers (1 per platform) = 2 x 35h x 4 weeks = 280h per month

1 Scrum Master = 15% x 280h = 42h per month

1 Quality Assurance Engineer for medium-complexity app = 80h per month

By starting with an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), you get to build a successful product without investing a lot of money into a high-risk project, therefore hiring a smaller team. When you’re satisfied with the results, it’s time to scale up and invest. You involve more specialists for the later stages of development. Thus, the rules set at the beginning may evolve as the project is developing and the environment is changing. We understand this and rapidly adapt to the current conditions and your requirements. Thanks to our clear division of tasks and efficient communication, you also get solid support in risk management at every stage of development.
