Time & Material
Pay only for what you use with our T&M engagement model
The Time and Material (T&M) engagement model is a popular choice for short-term projects with flexible requirements. In this model, the pricing is based on the number of hours spent on the project and the resources involved. This model allows more flexibility in terms of project scope and requirements, as the client can modify the project scope and requirements as the project progresses. At Cygnox, we offer the T&M model for clients who want greater flexibility and transparency in their projects. Our experienced team of professionals can work with you to define project requirements, estimate hours, and create a customized plan that meets your needs.

Advantages of T&M Model
Flexibility
Working on the fixed-price model might take months before developers complete the first line of code. Moreover, the software development procedure comprises building and authorizing the product details, analysis, drafting required codes, and even graphics in some circumstances because they might require estimation. However, when you choose the outsourced Time & Material model, all these procedures can simultaneously begin, which will help save your time and resources while prioritizing your specific needs.
Better focus on long-term projects
The Time & Material (T&M) model is perfect for sustained tasks not bounded by rapid unplanned development. In addition, after every development phase, the customer gets the elements of the assistance generated with the proof of work, the expenditure of work estimated based on a fixed rate, and the amount of time spent. Nevertheless, while choosing an outsourcing partner, you must pay close attention to the internal processes that define certain procedures, as the time spent for a certain function relies upon external elements and a seamless flow of internal business operations in the developer crew.
Improved flexibility and project influence
The stringent regulations of fixed-price agreements can cause software development to be exceptionally rigid and static. Any extra components might need a new analysis, which requires time and improves the cost. On the other hand, the software development cycle in the T&M model is flawlessly created for customers who like to participate vigorously in the development project with better space for modification. Furthermore, when nothing is well-defined at the beginning, it's completely feasible to modify the project's approach, add unique elements, and change the final idea.
Disadvantages of T&M Model
Uncertainty
The T&M model can be uncertain for clients as they do not have a fixed price for the entire project.
Longer Project Duration
The project duration can be longer than expected if changes are made to the project scope and requirements.
Requires Active Management
The T&M model requires active management by the client to ensure that the project is progressing as expected.
