Application Development Team Organization

You can organize the application development team in two ways, depending upon your organization's requirements.

Larger Team, Shorter Time Span

If you want to implement a large number of processes in a short period of time — say, 100 processes in 6 months — you would need a large number of developers for that time, and then a few people performing maintenance once the development was complete.

There are two important considerations for this type of model:

  • All of the resources involved must be familiar with AgilePoint development methodologies. You must train all of them before the project starts.
  • Because of the large team size and short time span, effective project management is required.

Smaller Team, Longer Time Span

If you want to implement a smaller number of processes over a longer period of time — say, 3-10 processes per month — you would need a relatively small number of developers on an ongoing basis.

In this type of model, the initial costs are lower, but it takes longer — typically 2-3 years for a large enterprise.
