6 years ago The Court expects offerors to propose the size and makeup of their development team based on their understanding of the project scope. Please refer to the requirement for a staffing plan in the Evaluation Criteria of the draft RFQ.
The Court expects offerors to propose the size and makeup of their development team, possibly including multiple teams, based on their understanding of the project scope. However, the Court’s current management and staffing levels may not allow for effective coordination with more than one development team, at least during the initial stages of the development process. If the development process goes smoothly and it appears the Court has sufficient capability, the Court would be open to adding a second development team.
How many engineers do you expect would be required to build out this project?
The proposed budget indicates that you may be envisioning a single agile development team (consisting of technical leadership, project management, user research and design, and engineering) over a three year period. However, we advocate for several agile development teams working together over a single year to best satisfy the requested feature set and velocity to replace the existing system. You want to reduce the amount of time you have to maintain multiple systems for the same function. This addresses both the cost of two engineering teams to maintain coexisting systems and the cost to your users/employees of having to switch back and forth between systems.
