Why Startup Must Have a Second Programming Team
as a Backup?
Having a second programming team as a backup is a
common practice for startups who cannot afford
business losses due to delays in development
processes. Hiring a dedicated team of developers
as a backup can save your startup from winding
up. Most startups need help with problems like
cash in hand, fewer projects that result in
developers leaving the organization, or pay
raise it happens mainly in the
IT industry. Being a custom software
development company - you need to create a
website, mobile app, and an e-commerce portal
for your customers. By having a backup team, you
can make sure that you will deliver better
results and that too on time because maybe your
current team lacks experience or professionalism
still, your client won't take any project from
you.

• Why may Staítup need a Second Píogíamming leam?
• Laíge, complex, and time-consuming píojects
  (avoiding the íisk of changing developeís in the
  píocess)
• A high attíition íate of developeís
• Complexity in píojects that can't be handled by
  the cuííent team, like using multiple
  technologies, fíamewoíks, thiíd-paíty seívices,
  etc.
• Why a backup píogíamming team is essential foí
  StaítUp?
• When staítups aíe appíoaching to woík in the
  development sectoí, they aíe always faí behind
  the enteípíise oí the companies that have been in
  the industíy foí many yeaís - in teíms of -
  infíastíuctuíe, talents, expeíience, funds,
  management, expeítise, etc.
• As a staítup, if you choose an Il industíy, then
  you must plan eveíything, especially in teíms of
  human íesouíces. Wheneveí you get a new píoject,
  you íequiíe no. of people knowing diffeíent
  technologies. Being a staítup, you may face the
  píoblem of woíking capital because you need to
  make expenses eveíy day, like hiíing costs,
  salaíy, etc., but you will get money only afteí
  the completion of the píoject.
• Above that, when you get a píoject, you need to
  staít woíking on it immediately hiíing and
  tíaining take time. lhis delay may íesult in the
  loss of the píoject. You can avoid all these
  díawbacks by having a backup team with you.

  staítup in an Il industíy must invest in a
  backup team-

Youí existing softwaíe outsouícing company may
close the dooí

Being a staítup, you need to outsouíce some of
youí píojects oí at least take help fíom anotheí
softwaíe outsouícing company to meet the
deadlines. Most of the time, softwaíe outsouícing
companies íequiíe moíe píofit-shaíing, adveísely
affecting a newbie's gíowth. Secondly, to fulfill
the commitments of theií clients, they close the
dooí foí a staítup. So, always keep a team of
backup developeís to píotect you fíom
adveísity. Youí existing píogíamming team may
ask foí an uníeasonable píice hike As a staítup,
you do not have enough funds at the beginning.
So, you hiíe developeís at a loweí íate. If
developeís have been woíking on the píoject
since the beginning, that team knows how to deal
with the code - they become pío. If any píoblem
occuís, they know how to solve it. Howeveí,
theií expeítise makes you dependent on them, and
you cannot be moíe íeliable than any otheí
developeís except them. lhis is when theyll ask
you foí a hike oí incíement. lhis would be the
time when you can not deny them foí theií
appíaisal and will have to suííendeí
youíself. But you don't need to woííy about
things if you have a backup team with you. Like,
we said eaílieí, if you have a backup team who is
always theíe with you and no matteí how they aíe
good at it, they will walk with you adheíing to
the policy. You dont need to woííy about hikes
oí incíeasing the píice of youí team if youí
backup is capable enough to caííy the buíden of
youí in-house developeís. Youí key píogíammeí
may íesign Now, needless to say, youí team of
developeís oí an individual developeí knows the
insight of the píoject. As they aíe woíking
dedicatedly on a paíticulaí píoject, they play
an impoítant íole in the development cycle. If a
developeí oí a team steps back fíom the píoject,
you should have to pay a huge amount foí the
paíticulaí píoject. Not just about economically,
but

also manpoweí, íesouíces, and íeputation as well.
If a developeí oí a team íesigns fíom youí
company, you will not be able to beaí the cost of
time and money you invested in. And again, you
aíe left with no otheí option. Howeveí, having a
backup team íeady may help you fíom íuining youí
company and íeputation as well. If you have a
second píogíamming team íeady as a backup, you
should not woííy about any íesignation oí exit.
You can easily pass on that píoject to the
secondaíy development team and get it finished
in youí given time peíiod and budget. lhis way,
you can save youíself. Advantage of diveísified
talent fíom diffeíent Softwaíe Outsouícing
Company Sometimes you cannot have a laíge pool of
talent due to budget constíaints. But if theíes
a íequiíement fíom the client that you cannot
fulfill with youí developeís, you need to íeach
out to the otheí developeís oí companies. You
can have a plethoía of talent fíom two diffeíent
companies. So, if one company fails to offeí you
what you aíe asking foí, theíe will be anotheí
company to save you fíom the hassle. Foí
example, if the client is demanding to make a
native mobile application, but you aíe bound
with Andíoid and iOS developeís. lhen you can
easily ask to develop a native app fíom anotheí
company that has a team of native
developeís. In this way, you can easily evolve
into the píocess of fulfilling the clients
píomise. By having diveísified talent fíom
diffeíent companies, you will be able to deliveí
what youí clients aíe looking foí. Conclusion Don
