3. The Definition Time and Material

4. Defining Time and Material • When the software application development project scope, specification and implementation plans cannot be precisely defined at the outset or requirements change dynamically during the project implementation process, the time & material model provides the flexibility of varying the size and workloads of the software development team assigned to your project, while optimizing time and costs. Under the time & material option, iBoss Tech Solutions provides for skilled resources and the development effort is billed at the end of every month based on the pre-negotiated and a mutually agreed hourly rate. This engagement can go from a few months to several years. • The total project cost is determined by the amount of time and resources expended and the actual effort towards the development.
