How they work

Ways and Means offers three engagement models:

Fixed-price projects are time-bound engagements suited to startups and small businesses where requirements are unlikely to change during development.

Hourly basis is available for clients with frequently changing requirements, often preferred for large projects or expert augmentation.

Dedicated team model assigns a dedicated team of developers to clients, typically for mid-to-large projects, allowing client visibility and control over team status.

The development process follows five phases: initiation (requirements gathering and scope definition), team deployment and role assignment, project analysis (scope, schedule, cost), sprint execution with transparency, and sign-off. The company emphasizes on-time, on-budget delivery and provides clients with tools to monitor progress.
