Frequently Asked Questions
What's your approach to software project documentation?
We believe well-organized software documentation drives smooth collaboration, ensures the quality of the solutions we create and overall project success. Our approach to documentation focuses on maintaining a balance between clarity and comprehensiveness.
How do you scope software development projects?
Our scoping process is built around reducing project risks, synchronizing expectations, and satisfying all client needs. We see open dialogue about scope limitations as the best way to prevent unrealistic expectations. Incomplete requirements are tackled through process analysis and discussions with stakeholders. Scope creep is managed via comprehensive documentation of changes and a tried and tested approach to their prioritization. We always welcome beneficial adjustments to scope, resources, and workflows during the project to improve software quality and reduce costs.
How do you estimate the costs of software development projects?
To estimate project costs, ScienceSoft follows:
- The top-down approach: we use expert consensus, historical data, and industry averages to estimate project costs, then divide the budget among major activities for transparency purposes.
- The bottom-up approach: We estimate costs for individual project components based on historical data, then aggregate them into a total budget.
We also employ early estimation techniques like T-shirt sizing and PERT for faster cost calculations.
How much do you charge per developer?
Our developers' rates vary depending on factors such as their seniority, experience, certifications, and the technology stack. We offer competitive rates that reflect the expertise and quality of our talents; the average rate is $50-$90 per hour. For more specific prices, we encourage you to reach out to us directly or use our free cost calculator.
