Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with Agile, Waterfall, or other development models?
98% of our projects are Agile-based. Within that number, 80% are executed using Scrum or ScrumBut. With Agile (Scrum), we work in efficient 2-3-week sprints to develop the software iteratively.
However, we can also opt for Waterfall if we can confidently estimate the project scope and agree on the final software requirements before coding starts.
In software support and evolution projects, we mostly follow Kanban.
What about the 'you build it, you run it' approach?
Yes, we offer dedicated .NET teams ready to take full technical ownership of the project and be responsible for everything from planning and development to infrastructure setup and management.
Who owns the code?
The code is in your sole ownership.
Who manages the project?
We have a strong full-scale PMO with ample experience in complex, large-scale .NET projects. The majority of our projects are managed by our in-house project managers.
However, we can also provide a dedicated .NET development team to be fully or partially managed by you. We minimize management efforts on your side by ensuring high transparency of the development process and proactive risk management.
How can I keep track of the project progress?
We give you access to a secure project extranet so that everyone involved in the project can access the latest documentation and other key deliverables. Depending on the project, they may include a software prototype, a product backlog (a discrete list of features with screenshots and testing criteria, bug fixes and infrastructure changes to be delivered), a sprint schedule (a plan of what features, fixes and changes will be delivered in what sprint), and more.
Every week, we hold status meetings. Also, a dedicated project manager will always be ready to answer any questions.
What systems do you use to track the progress of your delivery?
We mainly use Azure DevOps, Atlassian Jira, Microsoft Project, Excel, and Confluence. If needed, we’re ready to adopt your preferred tools.

How You Hire .NET Developers from ScienceSoft
Initial Request
You send us a request, specifying the number of .NET experts you need, their desired level of experience, as well as the model of cooperation you're interested in.
CV Scanning
ScienceSoft performs preliminary scanning of our experts' CVs in the database and sends you the most relevant ones.
Interview Scheduling
You choose the CVs you're most interested in and let us know the time you're available for interviewing candidates.
Interviews
We help arrange the interviews with our .NET developers within 1-2 days.
SLA Preparation
After you confirm the experts' competence, ScienceSoft works with you to compose a service level agreement (SLA).
Onboarding
Once you sign, the experts (lead by ScienceSoft’s or your PM – you decide) immediately start working on your project.
How We Work at Every Stage of .NET Development
1
Planning
At this stage, our team delves into your business needs, existing processes, obstacles, ambitions, and vision of the ideal software. Then, leveraging our experience from 3,600 IT projects, we:
- Devise the solution.
- Elaborate on the project plan.
- Prepare a risk mitigation plan.
- Estimate time and budget.
- Agree on the KPIs to measure the project health and software quality.
But if you already have a software requirements specification and a project plan, we can go directly to the next stage.
2
Architecture, UX and UI design
Our solution architects design a high-performing, reliable, secure, and scalable software architecture.
Our UX researchers study the target audience, its needs and behavior. Then, they create wireframes that demonstrate the basic content layout and functionality.
Our UI designers create UI kits and full-color graphic interface mockups.
If you have it all ready, we skip this stage.
3
PoC & dynamic prototype delivery (optional)
Want to see how your software will look and function before it is delivered? We can create a dynamic prototype of the future application to demonstrate it to stakeholders and future users.
To test the idea, verify tech assumptions, and de-risk further investments, we can deliver a proof of concept — a simplified version of the future software or its part.
4
DevOps implementation
We establish infrastructure as code (IaC), design and implement the containerization process, and set up CI/CD pipelines.
5
MVP development, testing, and deployment (optional)
To quickly find out how users accept the software and adjust it accordingly, we can start with an MVP (minimum viable product) – an early app version with just enough features to roll it out to the users and start monetizing it.
6
Full-scale software development, testing, and deployment
Back-end developers build the server side and the APIs of the new software and integrate it with the back ends of other applications if needed.
Front-end developers transform static interface images provided by UI designers into a fully functional client side and ensure its smooth communication with the server.
The development team performs regular unit testing and code reviews (ad hoc reviews, pair programming, walkthrough, etc.).
In parallel with development, our QA engineers validate every aspect of the new software: functionality, integrations, performance, usability, and security. They use both automated and manual tests — in the long run, test automation helps to save a significant amount of project resources.
7
24/7 monitoring, support, and evolution (on demand)
After the software or its part reaches the production environment, we can continue maintaining, supporting, and evolving it according to the changing business needs.
How We Ensure Successful Cooperation
Responsible resource management
When you augment your team with our .NET developers for hire or leverage a dedicated .NET team, ScienceSoft is always ready to provide on-demand scale up or down in just 1–2 days.
Transparent cooperation
To monitor .NET developers’ performance in a dedicated team and ensure their highest productivity, ScienceSoft uses its mature KPIs (cycle time, team velocity, etc.). We share our metrics with you and give you access to our reporting tools, thus letting you track the project progress.
Employees’ professional growth
ScienceSoft cares about its developers and makes sure their workplaces are comfortable and safe. We also encourage the consistent professional development of our experts, engaging them in individual training courses and Microsoft certification programs.
Outsourcing to ScienceSoft vs. Hiring In-house Developers or Freelancers
|
|
On average, building a mature .NET team of 5 developers takes 8-10 months. If you turn to a ScienceSoft instead, you can get such a team within a single week. |
|
|
In-house hiring implies legal employment, which entails payroll taxes. When outsourcing to ScienceSoft, you only pay us according to a T&M model by hourly rate. We take care of developers’ wages and taxes on our own. |
|
|
When hiring freelancers, you need to review CVs that weren’t pre-vetted by anyone, manage separate pays, handle coordination and management of distributed teams. Cooperation with freelancers can’t ensure risk mitigation in data confidentiality, adherence to schedule, and software quality. If you turn to ScienceSoft, we can assume full responsibility for the team arrangement and management, quality of the project deliverables and related risk management. |
|
|
By employing .NET developers in-house, you usually take on long-term obligations. When you work with ScienceSoft, you can easily opt out of cooperation with a 1-month notice. |
