What is a full-stack team
A full-stack team is a cohesive team of developers specializing in different areas of web and/or mobile application development who see and perceive the application as a whole. This brings a number of advantages, the main ones are:
- Faster response and adaptation to changing project needs
- Acceleration of the development cycle and therefore faster results
But finding senior developers can be (and often is) a time and money consuming task. The recruitment process can take a long time and at the same time you are never confident that you will always select the right person/people. When you have your own team, you have to take care of it. Therefore, in a number of cases, it may make more sense to hire the team externally.
Before you hire a full-stack team
It is good to know the answers to the following questions:
1. What skills do I need?
Do you already know that you need a wide range of skills for a project that blends from front-end to back-end to DevOps? If so, a full-stack is needed to ensure a smooth and fast transition between areas.
2. How complex is the project?
Is it supposed to work for years? Does it have to check in tens, hundreds or millions of users? Will we expand and scale the project further? What about stability, how do I have it covered? Last but not least is the security of the entire solution against data leakage or external attacks. For more complex types of projects, you will need a full-stack team to oversee and take responsibility for the project. If your project is more of a smaller nature, you may need one in-house full-stack developer.
3. Is the project an important part of the business?
Are you looking to build a comprehensive solution that you will want to provide for several years and that you count on to meet your business goals? Then it's a good idea to work with a well-rounded full-stack team that can connect everything to your business goals.
4. What is my budget for the project?
A dedicated full-stack team usually makes sense for larger, more demanding projects that require 6 months or more of work. The reason for this is complexity (different permissions for given users, in logistics it can be optimization of routes, in warehouses there is quick planning of picking up god, with AI we often solve work productivity, when excel is no longer enough for a given organization).
> Tip: Before any collaboration, want to get to know the team that will work specifically on your solution.
What proved to our clients in cooperation with the full-stack team
1. Quick customization.
Thanks to our universal expertise, we are able to react very quickly to the changes that the project entails. Because developers understand both front-end and back-end, they don't have to interact with each other in a complicated way and clarify requirements.
2. Autonomy.
You can leave project management and/or output quality management to us. There are always people working on the project, so we take care of everything completely without the need for supervision.
3. Flexibility.
With an agile approach to project development, we have the skills to help us work on different parts of the project. Therefore, our degree of adaptation to different technological environments and customer requirements is very fast.
4. Communication and transparency.
We take it for granted that other teams and departments should have information about the project, such as sales and marketing team, product owners, other stakeholders... That is why we believe in open communication, in which the client has the opportunity to see changes every day — for example during our regular stand-ups or demos. We share sprints with clients and do a retrospective after the larger blocks are over.
5. Ability to solve problems.
We love challenges at Futured, which is why we send our developers to conferences, organize meet-ups, organize internal workshops where we share project know-how, best practices and things to watch out for. At the same time, we always have other developers in the team, whom we can invite to the project if necessary.
6. Overhead.
We like to say that we approach each app as if it were our own. It is important for us that it is not only visually beautiful, but functional as a whole. We view our clients' projects in a broader context with the help of a product discovery sprint, thanks to which we not only fulfill a task that often has blind spots, but we clearly link the business objectives into a single whole.
7. Better planning.
In addition, the external team is very flexible, so you can plan the cost of allocated capacity well throughout the year.
Specific examples of full-stack team involvement
At Futured, we are working on several technological solutions for telecommunications operators such as Swiss Salt or Slovak Telekom, for which we have developed so-called self-service, that is, applications in which customers can handle maximum wishes and requests in a few clicks, without having to call a customer line or go to a branch of a given operator. Convenience stores are an important part of the client's solution, which additionally saves them money for the saved staff who would have to handle requests. A win-win situation for all parties.
