FAQ
How does Red Corner ensure the Dev Agency is a good fit for my project?
Your Red Corner FCTO oversees your project from start to finish, adeptly mitigating risks associated with custom development agencies. They structure the project and collaborate with you to define its scope – ensuring consensus before submitting an RFI (Request For Information) to carefully selected dev agencies.
Throughout the project, your FCTO manages all communications, technical challenges, and potential change requests. With Red Corner, you can be at ease knowing we’ve got your back every step of the way.
Does the FCTO help with both the selection and management of the development agency?
Absolutely!
For selection, your FCTO tailors criteria to your specific needs and industry, conducts thorough research, and collaborates with you to submit RFIs – we will choose the right dev agency!
Regarding management, the FCTO oversees all project aspects and communication with the agency until completion and launch. Even after your product goes live, our FCTO can continue providing support for as long as necessary
What level of involvement can I expect from the FCTO in project management?
Expect a highly intensive level of involvement from your FCTO in project management. They engage in every aspect, including:
-
overseeing quotes and invoices
-
participating in demos
-
addressing technical queries
-
providing regular status updates
Their comprehensive involvement ensures a smooth and successful project execution.
How does the FCTO contribute to cost savings?
Your Red Corner FCTO reduces dev agency costs by identifying creative, low-cost solutions that meet your requirements – rather than relying on more expensive options proposed by the dev agency.
Since development agencies are incentivized to inflate costs (and never tell you “no”), your FCTO acts as a safeguard against unnecessary expenses. Our goal is to get the most value for your investment.
How does the FCTO handle conflict resolution or issues with a development agency?
As seasoned technologists, our FCTOs are adept at managing conflicts or issues that arise with a development agency. They skillfully navigate technical disputes on your behalf, involving you only when necessary.
All communications with the dev agency are meticulously logged, informing you of any developments. Should there be a need for any project changes, your FCTO will consult with you first – ensuring alignment with your vision and goals.
Is there an engagement period for an FCTO in a development project?
Yes. Your FCTO remains actively engaged throughout the entire duration of the development project – from its inception right through to delivery, and often even beyond that.
Continuous involvement is essential because software development is complex, and new challenges can arise daily. The FCTO's consistent presence ensures that these challenges are promptly addressed and the project stays on track.
