Fixed price, time and materials, dedicated team or staff augmentation? Compare software development engagement models for Boston.
Software development engagement models define how you work with a development partner: how scope is managed, how you pay and who controls the day-to-day work. For Boston companies, picking the right model is as important as picking the right partner.
MyFluiditi offers fixed price, time and materials, dedicated teams, staff augmentation and hybrid models.
Fixed price: you pay an agreed amount for an agreed scope. Lowest budget risk, least flexibility. Time and materials: you pay for actual hours. High flexibility, requires active scope management. Dedicated team: you pay a monthly fee for full-time engineers. Balanced flexibility and predictability for ongoing development.
Staff augmentation: you add individual engineers to your team and manage them. Maximum control, requires strong internal leadership. Hybrid: phases or workstreams use different models. Best for complex programs. We will walk Boston clients through the trade-offs using your actual scope, not theory.
