Flexible business model of ODC + Fixed Price for an American client
it is hard for the client to foster a large dedicated ODC team. But if a complete new team will be built up for each specific project when coming through, the knowledge and experiences accumulated in previous similar projects could not be well inherited into the new one, then it brings the risks of low efficiency and inaccurate estimation on the project.
4 years of cooperation with an American ISV
5 developers is now fully engaged in development of one of its products. Latest status of the team: Due to the tight schedule, Shinetech guys made overtime working in almost entire year of 2009, which resulted tiring attitude, lower and lower efficiency, poor deliveries... Shinetech changed the lead developer with an experienced one in January this year, the latter carried out methodical measures based on adequate research: stopped the overtime working immediately upon client’s allowance; built standup meeting; adopted Test Driven Development, used a more client-transparent management tool etc, which highly promoted the work in very short period of time. The lead developer says that there still needs long effort to rewin client’s trust, and he has been ready for the challenge.
