A product team that works only on your roadmap, on Riyadh hours

A project vendor sells you an outcome at a fixed scope. A dedicated team sells you capacity, and you decide how to spend it. That sounds minor until your priorities change in week six, which they will. With a project vendor, every change is a scope negotiation. With a dedicated team, you reorder the backlog on Sunday and the same people start on the new first item on Monday.

The trade is that you carry the product decisions. Someone on your side has to own the backlog, answer questions and accept work. That person is usually a product owner or a technical lead, and they need a few hours a week, not a full job. If nobody can play that role, say so early. We can supply a product manager inside the team, billed as one more seat.

Team shape matters more than headcount. A common starting point is a tech lead, two or three engineers, one QA engineer and a part-time designer, then adjusted after the first sprint reviews. Backend and frontend skills are matched to your stack rather than to whoever is free.

The team works the Saudi working week, Sunday to Thursday, with a daily overlap that covers your whole office day. Standups happen at an agreed time you choose, and anything urgent gets an answer inside the same working day. We confirm the exact hours in the engagement letter so nobody guesses.

On management, the split is simple. You set priorities, accept or reject work, and decide what ships. We manage the people: attendance, performance, leave cover, equipment, payroll, and the technical standards inside the team. If someone is not performing, that is our problem to solve, not a message you have to deliver.

Tools are yours. The team works in your repository, your ticketing system and your cloud accounts, with access granted per person and removed the day someone leaves. Access to production, customer data and secrets is limited to named people and logged, which also supports your obligations under the Personal Data Protection Law and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls when your product handles regulated data.

Everything the team writes belongs to you from the moment it is committed. The engagement letter assigns intellectual property to your company, includes confidentiality terms for every team member, and keeps the work in your repository. There is no licence back to us and no lock-in on tooling or hosting.

Billing is monthly, per seat, invoiced in advance with VAT shown separately. You can add a seat or release one with 30 days notice, so the team can grow with a launch and shrink afterwards. Cost drivers are seniority mix, team size and any specialist skill such as mobile, data or security.

If a team member leaves or is not the right fit, we replace them. A replacement starts within 5 to 10 working days, and we run a structured handover so the product does not stall. You are not billed for the gap or for the overlap period. Onboarding a new team member from signature to first commit usually takes the same 5 to 10 working days.
