7. How do you scheme your pricing model? How do you fix your budget?
We are constantly working on crafting the best pricing strategies that’s why today we offer our clients two major engagement models: time and material, and fixed budget. As we are a technology partner focused on long-term business relations, more often our customers prefer choosing time and material engagement model as it is more flexible. However, we take into account the scope of the project when offering our customers the most-suited model. Fixed budget is available to our clients who are ready to pass through the entire business analysis process, SRS writing, and estimate procedure. Any changes are reviewed as change requests by our team and are added as additional requests to a contract. In this case, customers must be 100% sure about how they vision their projects. Time and material engagement model doesn’t include precise SRS documentation. Sprints and scopes are formed on the fly so that the customers are able to coordinate their projects. However, some clients choosing time and material would like to understand how much it will cost to them to develop a project. In this case, it is possible to offer a fixed budget model inside time and material when a final total price is known and all change requests are monitored so that not to exceed the fixed price.
