Answer

In software development, there are no typical projects. The business goals of the envisioned software solution and the requirements dictate the engagement team size and skills, length of the project, and costs. However, most of our client engagements range from 3-6 months for a small team of 2-4 resources that include developers, a business analyst, and a project manager. Following the agile methodology, our clients dictate when a software project is done. We work with our clients to understand and prioritize the functional and technical requirements, so the underlying architecture and most important features are delivered first with lower priority features delivered over time in successive sprints. Many of our clients decide to engage with us to develop and release software that meets their core needs and then pause on the development of additional features until a later date after they get more user feedback. Brainspire has completed projects that take only a few weeks to develop, and we’ve completed projects that take over a year to complete. Our engagements always begin with a high-level estimate so our customers have a ballpark timeline and cost. Spending the appropriate amount of time upfront to understand and document the requirements is necessary to understand the total scope. Without spending some time upfront, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to determine the project timeline and budget. If you have software development needs, please contact us, and we’ll work with you to map out a project plan.
