LEGO teams - A Case Study of a Software development company comprising part-time professionals, catering to small-scale software requirements

Abstract

Software development is an industry with an ever-growing demand. There are ample companies that cater to this demand. However, more methods of catering to this demand are emerging every day. One specific model of business is experienced professionals who have substantial technical expertise using their available time to create small-scale software and earn extra. However, this method has some innate difficulties like on-time delivery, part-time employee turnover, and working strictly in an online environment. Managing such a team who does not have full-time work commitment and satisfying customers with successful delivery is challenging. This study is to analyze the most impacting factors contributing to successfully managing such a team. A software company was partnered with to analyze this case study to gain pragmatic insight into the subject.
