For any business activity to take place smoothly, there has to be a well-built team that has experienced and expert members that know the concerned task well. Three has to be a proper allocation of responsibilities among the team in order to streamline every task and process every activity smoothly without losing any details. Interrupted communication may lead to loopholes in the transfer of data which will eventually affect website development services activities. Hence, here, we will try to understand the important roles that every best web development company assigns to developers in order to build and maintain a robust team that can handle every pressure.

For any web development service provider it may look like a dream to switch to full-stack web app development and carry the project single-handedly from the early planning stages to final and successful deployment. A perfect team never fails to offer streamlined project coordination and affordable development costs. But, if you wish to have a quality application, full-stack development is not a good idea.

Web development is a complex process that involves multiple tasks and it is certainly not a one man's job to complete all those tasks effectively without failure. And this is exactly why SaaS Software Development and other developments demand a team of professionals with certain areas of expertise.

Let us discuss various roles, skill sets and expertise that can build a robust foundation for a perfect web development team.

Project manager

No project can progress in the set direction without the guidance and supervision of a professional project manager. Every team needs a leader, guidance an authority who makes important decisions, take responsibility and motivate a team to perform the best. This position is of a project manager. This person is in control of all the tasks that are performed under the project.

The project manager performs the following tasks:

Connecting with clients.

Streamline Every project activity and provide the estimated time for project delivery.

Choose the required human resource, allocate their efforts and assign them respective tasks.

Coordination between the team.

As most project managers have to indulge in human-human interaction, it is important that while hiring a person for this particular position, the business must consider two important factors: leadership and communication skills. The ideal person for this role will be good at sharing a vision and open to the views of other team members and clients.

Project architect

There are different type of mobile applications in the market. All these apps are built using varied development architecture. When such diversity is demanded, it is certain that every web development project will be addressed by separate individuals from the initial stage itself. In website development services, a project architect is a person who has a right to define the type of application that is going to be developed.

A project architect is always in touch with clients. He/she receive all the data about the app from the client and based on this information decide the architecture of the application. A business can deploy an architect on a part-time basis and the person will take care of everything regarding the database, backend, frontend, data sharing, web app integration, etc.

UI/UX designers

Before the front end developer implements any web design it is developed in the form of layouts and wireframe at the backend. And even before this process takes place thorough research is conducted regarding user experience to understand the expectation of the target audience. Without these inputs, the application will not be able to hit the right chord with the target audience.

It is certainly not an easy task to reflect upon abstract concepts like human and computer interaction and then give it a tangible and visible form. It is even harder to do it on a first attempt. One has to develop different variants and then choose the most successful one. When a business is looking for people who will be a perfect fit for this job role the business should focus on the psychological and analytical skills of the candidate. A perfect person for this job role will have natural designing skills. Though UI & UX are interconnected, they are two different tasks and demand two different skill sets.

Web developers

Any web application has two elements: One is the back end and another is the front end. Every team must have at least one person to take care of each element. Front end developers take care of the layouts of the designs that they are provided with by UI designers. These developers transform static interfaces into a fully developed and usable front end. The front end developer of your team must have sound programming knowledge, especially CSS, HTML5, JavaScript, exposure to the front-end libraries and frameworks. Back-end developers, on the other hand, are responsible for building the server-side of the app and must have a thorough knowledge of languages like PHP, .NET, Python, Ruby on Rails, or Java, along with enough exposure to the tools and frameworks.

In any web development team, every developer has to take care of the primary task. This task is to make sure that the back end manages and works on the data it receives and forwards it to the front end in an accurate, and stable way. Back end developers also take care of duties related to the database.

QA and testing specialists

Last but not least is the role of a Quality Analyst. By now both the frontend and backend of the application is ready and the app must be checked for its quality, security, performance and other criteria. QA performs these tasks. QA makes sure that the app is ready to launch and is developed exactly as per the client demands without compromising on the quality. QA ensures that the app runs smoothly on the decided platforms.

In SaaS Software Development and development of other applications, every stage is crucial and hence it is important to deploy the perfect candidate at every stage. A small error or delay at any stage can hamper the entire development process.
