6 Reasons why Retainer Agreements Work

An IT retainer contract can help gain stability in your projects

1. Deploy Agile Scrum Development

Retainer agreements use Agile Scrum development which is a sprint-based system. It helps deliver the highest value and most effective product development for complex projects and relies on incremental development. It focuses on building the most important features first and a continuous process where additional features are added and adjusted based on customer feedback between sprints. This is different since other development methodologies emphasize on building the entire product from start to finish and then have subsequent iterations to work on the feedback. Agile scrum development has several benefits like

• Faster and high-quality product development
• Promotes flexibility and adaptability
• Continuous and frequent development with quality improvements in real-time
• Frequent planning and goal setting for each sprint that increases productivity
• Delivers the highest business value in the least amount of time

2. Working with industry experts

Helps you add highly experienced and well-trained members in every tech stack to work as an extension of your team assigned based on the requirement of the projects.

3. Easy Scalability

Imagine having to scale your team and hire resources to meet project needs and timelines in a hurry. Now imagine doing that with ease. Retainer contracts allow businesses to maintain the continuity of a project, scale and adjust resources.

4. Flexibility

Scale-up and scale down your team size with resources that work different tech stacks. Retainer teams provide flexibility in adjusting the resources based on your project requirements on a monthly basis.

5. Ease of management

Easily split tasks between internal and retainer teams, leverage insights and best practices shared by the retainer team to set up and optimize processes.

6. Cost-effectiveness

Hiring a retainer team is a cost-effective way to keep IT projects on track, with reduced internal resources at low risk.
