Application Development - Models

Time & Material (T&M) model: Offers a high degree of flexibility to alter specifications Accommodate unplanned activities rapidly Adjust project resources based upon evolving requirements throughout the software development process The resources are locked for the duration of the project and hence competencies and skills can be built over the time Additional resources can be brought over time or decreased over time to adjust to the changing demands of the projects Regular work reports facilitate Time & Material (T&M) model with Cap: An upper limit or cap on the costs is imposed to prevent uncontrolled cost escalations in an outsourced project Worthwhile to impose such restraints because it helps to ensure that the project benefits lie within budgeted cost expectations

Copyright 2013 Sparc Technologies

Contd...

Application Development - Models

Fixed Price(FP) model: Suitable for projects with well defined requirements and schedules Allowing the customer to determine exactly the project budget in advance Less flexible for managing changes and additional features requests Offshore Development Center (ODC) model: Comprises a dedicated team trained on your line of business, systems and processes Team can be changed in size when necessary ensuring quick response to your resource requirements Empowered with transparent project management and progress tracking processes coupled with high-speed communication infrastructure Clients have full control over the offshore team committed to their project Includes cost-effective resources, flexibility and time-to-market advantages

Copyright 2013 Sparc Technologies

Contd...

Application Development - Models

Cost Reimbursable Model: Used when there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the project When a large investment must be made in the project well before completion of the project A compensation has to be paid to the extent prescribed in the contract, regardless of the nature of expenses incurred Staffing model: The project control always rests with the client The contracted resources work under direct supervision, hence closer monitoring and productivity depend largely Allows for higher agility and could progressively add or reduce resources, thereby maintaining absolute cost control It is impossible to build long-term competencies and capabilities with the resources
