When a client has a software development project, it is vital to analyze aspects such as the requirements, project duration, and whether it is an upgrade to an existing application or the development of a brand-new one. Collecting all of this information allows us to determine the best way to staff the digital solution. In companies like Adage, there are two ways of contracting: agile teams and software factories.
Let’s get a better understanding of what these two forms of contracting are all about:
It is very important to keep in mind that in software development, the overall timeline is unpredictable.
At first glance, the cost of development with an agile team may be higher than that of a factory one. A cross-functional agile team may comprise a scrum master, various developers, a technical leader, QA, and other professionals that may be required. In contrast, a factory can have one or multiple experts hired on a part-time or full-time basis.
Therefore, if it’s a large company that requires robust, high-impact, and easily scalable projects, it's recommended to hire an agile team. If you’re looking to complete a small project with very specific definitions and few variables, hiring a factory may be the most cost-effective alternative.

One of the most used methodologies in software development is Scrum. To implement it successfully, it is crucial to understand the different roles that it consists of, as well as their skills and responsibilities.
