Java Development Outsourcing Services

Determine which segments of your project are best suited for outsourcing, whether by software component or activity type (business analysis, development, testing, etc.). Choose the fitting service model — team augmentation, dedicated team, or full outsourcing. In case of team augmentation, outline the specific skills needed, such as project managers, business analysts, software architects, Java developers, DevOps, security, and QA specialists.

Alternatively, you can request a professional feasibility analysis to find the right answers to all these points and understand whether outsourcing is strategically and economically gainful for your case.

Send us a brief of your Java project and decisions from step 1. It would be great if you could mention or attach any relevant artifacts you already have (such as a business case, functional requirements, prototypes, app architecture, UX wireframes, UI samples, a proof of concept, or an MVP). We’ll provide a tailored proposal that describes our offering or solution, details the approach we’ve chosen for your project, explains why we find this approach the best fit, provides an estimated timeline and cost, and includes examples of similar work we have completed. We’ll also outline identified risks and their mitigation strategies and include a suggested collaboration roadmap.

You assess our proposal based on the suggested solution, cost, timeline, etc. We can also arrange meet-and-greet sessions with potential members of your outsourced Java teams. If possible, we’ll provide contacts of our past clients so that you can get first-hand information about their experience working with Sciencesoft, our developers, project outcomes, and approaches. Additionally, we can discuss setting up a trial project or an initial phase so that you can assess the effectiveness of the working relationship and make a well-informed decision.

Together, we establish a comprehensive legal contract that outlines the project scope, deliverables, timeline, payment schedule, and KPIs. It also addresses confidentiality, ownership rights, and clearly defines the terms for premature termination, including any required notice periods or penalties to ensure both parties are protected and understand the consequences should the relationship falter.

Together, we organize a kick-off meeting with the selected development team and stakeholders on your side to establish clear project goals, define communication protocols, set milestones, and outline the initial steps necessary to commence the project. During this meeting, it is also important to agree on a routine for regular updates and feedback, which can occur through weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly check-ins to ensure the project remains on track and any issues are addressed swiftly. Additionally, we decide on the communication strategy for managing potential crises or significant challenges, potentially requiring quicker escalation paths or involving senior management if required.

It is also crucial to provide the outsourced team with necessary access to your project infrastructure. Together, we plan for the integration and setup of tools and environments. This includes selecting appropriate tools for task tracking (such as Jira or Trello), communication (such as Slack or Microsoft Teams), and version control (such as GitHub or Bitbucket).

We study your requirements, existing code and coding rules, code repositories, infrastructure, test documentation, process descriptions, etc. We implement CI/CD pipelines, if required, or integrate into your existing processes and proceed with any necessary responsibility transfers.

With all preliminary steps completed, we initiate the development phase according to the agreed-upon plan.

We provide weekly and monthly performance and progress reports. Our team also regularly interacts with your project managers, development and quality assurance teams, if needed. We can participate in your daily meetings to ensure a steady flow of information and progress updates. We continuously provide our recommendations on possible improvements in development, quality assurance, and DevOps processes and further implement them, if approved.

We ensure that all documentation, source code, and other deliverables are handed over to you as specified in the contract. We can also organize training workshops to walk your team through the system, including hands-on tasks and Q&A sessions for deeper understanding.

Together, we conduct a final review meeting to discuss the project outcomes. We also discuss post-launch support and clarify whether you need guidance and assistance during a predefined period if your team will handle the support.
