A dedicated development team that owns your product, not just your tickets
A dedicated development team is a long-running squad of engineers that works only on your product or module, in your tools and your sprints. AMT builds these teams in Bengaluru and Kochi, each with an AMT technical lead accountable for the quality of what ships. You pay a monthly fee per team, and most teams run for six months or longer.
Schedule Technical DiscoveryYour first conversation will be with a senior technical partner, not a salesperson.
When a dedicated team is the right model
- You have a product or module that needs continuous work for six months or more.
- You have a product lead who can set direction every week.
- You want the same engineers learning your domain, not a rotating cast.
- You want predictable monthly cost rather than a new estimate for every change.

Team shapes we usually start with
| Stage | Typical starting shape | Grows into |
|---|---|---|
| Building a first release | Tech lead, two to three full-stack engineers, QA | Adds mobile or DevOps as needed |
| Running an established product | Tech lead, three to five engineers, QA automation | Splits into two squads by module |
| Modernising a legacy system | Architect, engineers on old and new stacks, QA for parity testing | Shrinks as old components retire |
Every team has an AMT technical lead. The exact shape is agreed in discovery.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: onboarding. Access, environments, codebase walkthrough, team rituals agreed.
- Week 2: first changes shipped. Small, real changes that prove the pipeline works end to end.
- Week 3: owning the backlog. The team estimates and delivers a full sprint.
- Week 4: review. You and AMT's lead review velocity, quality and fit, and adjust the team if needed.
How to manage a dedicated development team well
- One product lead on your side. Decisions slow down when nobody owns them.
- Same rituals as your in-house team. Stand-ups, planning, reviews. Overlap hours are agreed up front.
- Measure outcomes, not hours. Releases, defects, cycle time.
- Use the gates. Increments are accepted in a test environment, and production readiness is signed. See How we work.

FAQ
What is a dedicated development team?
A team of engineers that works only on your product or module for a long period, in your tools and processes, led by a technical lead from the provider. You pay a monthly fee per team.
How much does a dedicated development team cost per month?
It depends on team size, seniority, specialist skills, overlap hours and location. AMT quotes after a technical discovery call.
How do I hire a dedicated development team?
Start with a technical discovery call, agree what the team will own and its starting shape, then onboard it over the first 30 days. AMT's lead runs the team. You set the direction.
What is the difference between a dedicated team and staff augmentation?
With staff augmentation you add individuals to your team and manage them. A dedicated team is a complete squad with its own technical lead that owns a product or module.
How long does a dedicated team engagement last?
Usually six months or longer.
Can a dedicated team become our own capability centre later?
Yes. When a team has run for a year or more and you want it under your own brand, it can move into a capability centre in India.
