Development
Dedicated development team for ongoing product work
We keep improving your product from a backlog you prioritize. This model fits a product with a continuing list of work. You decide what matters next and name someone who can answer product questions. We plan the roles needed for that work and a routine for reviewing completed changes with you.
Your priorities guide the work: the backlog makes the next task clear.
A defined start: access, product context and review rules before changes begin.
Work you can follow: at each review we agree, you see finished changes and what is blocked.
What you get
During the engagement you have:
- A role plan based on the product and its current backlog.
- A check of who can take each role, before a start date is set.
- An onboarding plan covering product context and access.
- Tasks with clear completion criteria and a route for questions.
- Regular demonstrations and a record of completed work and blockers.
- Current code and working notes in accounts you control.
Testing and infrastructure work are included only when the role plan lists them.
What the cost depends on
We work out the cost from the backlog, the roles it needs and the expected workload.
- The kind of product and the state of its code and documentation.
- Required skills and who can cover them.
- The planned workload and review routine.
- Time needed to learn the product and its operating setup.
- Testing and infrastructure responsibilities.
- Coordination with your other contractors or teams.
- Knowledge transfer when responsibilities change.
The estimate separates development work from outside tools and service costs. Changes to roles or workload are reviewed before they take effect.
We answer every inquiry within one working day. Dates depend on availability, access and the onboarding needed.
Your repositories and product accounts stay under your control. The working plan identifies code ownership, licensed components and confidentiality requirements before access is granted. The team for your backlog is put together from our specialists and contractors we have worked with, and CyberLab answers for the result.
What is included and what is not
Included
- Defining the roles your backlog needs.
- Confirming who covers each role, and when they can start.
- Development tasks within the work plan.
- Reviews and documentation of completed changes.
- Knowledge transfer when the engagement or a responsibility ends.
Not included
- Choosing product priorities and resolving disagreements between your colleagues.
- Features outside the current work plan.
- Outside subscriptions, hosting and other service charges.
- Unplanned testing or infrastructure responsibilities.
- Continuing support duties beyond the work plan.
You name a product owner who can keep tasks ready and review decisions. We agree the communication routine and release responsibilities before the engagement starts.
When you need this
- A live product needs steady development.
- Your backlog changes as users and the business learn more.
- Work repeatedly waits because development capacity is missing.
- Other contractors or teams need additional roles for a defined stream of work.
- You can set priorities and review changes, but need continuity in delivery.
How the work goes
What you have after each step
-
Step 1. Review the product and backlog
You get a proposed role plan and a list of onboarding needs. You explain priorities and show the current code and documentation through suitable access.
-
Step 2. Confirm roles and prepare access
You get a check of who can take each role. You name the product owner and confirm the review routine. Accounts and confidentiality requirements are settled before onboarding.
-
Step 3. Work through the priorities
You get completed changes to review and a record of blocked tasks. You keep the backlog ordered and answer product questions. The work plan is reviewed as priorities or availability change.
-
Step 4. Review capacity and keep knowledge current
You get a summary of completed work and the next needs. Together we decide whether to continue or change responsibilities. Code and working notes stay current so a later handover is practical.
How we can work together
Pick the form that fits the task. We suggest one after the first conversation.
-
Consultation or audit
For when you want a second opinion on a plan, a system or a quote before you commit. You get a written review with recommendations and an estimate of the next step.
-
Fixed-scope project
This works when the requirements can be written down before work starts. You get the agreed scope for the agreed price. Anything new goes through an updated estimate first.
-
Time and materials
For when the scope will change as you learn, as with research or a new product. You pay for the time spent, and we review the plan with you as the work goes.
-
Support after launch
Your system is already live and needs updates, fixes and monitoring. We agree a monthly arrangement and a list of what it covers.
Platforms and tools we work with
PHP (Laravel, Yii), Node.js, React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, .NET (C#), Go and Flutter. MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra and ClickHouse. Docker on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Hetzner.
We choose the platform from the task, and the list shows what we use most often.
Who this is for, and when it is too early
Come with a continuing backlog and a product owner on your side who can make decisions. It is too early if tasks have no priorities or nobody is available to resolve questions.
For a defined first release, software product development may be easier to plan. If the only need is a focused repair, start with that repair.
A defined project or ongoing backlog work?
| Option | When it fits | Your main responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Defined project | You can describe the result and the criteria for completing it | Approve requirements and review the deliverables |
| Dedicated development engagement | The product needs continuing changes and priorities will evolve | Keep the backlog ordered and make product decisions |
| Focused specialist task | A bounded problem needs a particular skill | Provide the problem context and review the specific result |
Each task still needs a definition of done.
Working with clients in other countries
- Contract and NDA. You sign a contract with CyberLab.Team OÜ, a company registered in Estonia, before work starts. If you need an NDA, we sign it before you share confidential data.
- Invoices in euros. We invoice in euros from an EU company with a VAT number.
- Languages. We work in English, Ukrainian, Russian and Polish.
- Calls and replies. We hold calls at hours agreed with you and reply to messages within one working day.
