Building a dedicated development team is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a tech leader. This comprehensive guide covers everything from team structure to management strategies for building a high-performing development team.

What is a Dedicated Development Team?

A dedicated development team is a group of developers who work exclusively on your projects. Unlike freelancers who juggle multiple clients, a dedicated team focuses solely on your product, learning your codebase deeply and becoming an extension of your company.

  • • 1 Tech Lead / Senior Developer
