ENGAGEMENT MODEL
Fixed Price Plan:
The Fixed Price model is the optimum to use in projects where all the features are clearly defined and estimated exactly. The total solution cost and delivery date is determined within the agreed scope of project work. The customer may request a change in the project scope during the project implementation.
Time & Materials Plan:
The Time and Materials model is used when the scope of work cannot be specified at the beginning of the project, or for projects where changes need to be made frequently.
The customer and Global Consulting mutually agree on rough project estimation. As the project progresses and the requirements for particular tasks get clarified, the exact task estimations are made.
In this plan, the customer pays only for the number of hours actually worked. These hours are tracked and accounted for by Time Sheet Reports with corresponding invoices
Dedicated Team Plan:
The Dedicated Team plan is usually applied in long-term partnerships with a significant amount of work. Importantly in complex projects, where it is not advisable to replace the developer during the project.
Project budgeting is pre-decided and fixed for different technologies or level of programmers required.
It is Global Consulting responsibility to recruit a team that satisfies the project requirements and producing the specified monthly amount of work. Contracts are signed with developers and their work time is reserved for a customer. Some developers may work full-time within the dedicated team and others may work part-time. The customer’s responsibility is to keep the workload of the team at the agreed specified level.
