    Fixed-Price vs Dedicated Team: Which Model Fits You?

    01Fixed price: defined scope

    When requirements are clear and stable, a fixed-price contract gives you budget certainty and a defined deliverable. It works best for well-understood projects.

    02Dedicated team: flexibility

    When you expect to evolve the product based on feedback, a dedicated team gives you flexibility to change direction sprint by sprint, paying for capacity rather than a fixed deliverable.

    03Choosing between them

    Short, well-defined projects suit fixed price. Ongoing products with changing priorities suit a dedicated team. Some projects start fixed and shift to a team model as they grow.
