The Team Builder lets you plan the software and IT team you need, role by role. Pick roles and seniority levels, from Flutter developers to SAP consultants and from help desk specialists to call center agents, then enter the working model, duration and start date. The tool instantly shows total headcount, total person-months and suggestions for your team structure. Send the ready-made summary to 360 Soft on WhatsApp or by email in one click.
How to use the Team Builder
- Choose roles: set the number of people for each role with the + and − buttons or by typing a number.
- Set seniority: choose Junior, Mid, Senior, Lead or Mixed. The seniority mix directly affects the team’s speed and cost.
- Enter the working model and duration: choose remote, on-site or hybrid, then enter the duration in months and an estimated start date.
- Send the summary: check total headcount, person-months and the suggestions, then send the summary on WhatsApp or by email.
A person-month is the number of people multiplied by the duration in months. For example, a 5-person team working for 6 months equals 30 person-months of capacity. This figure gives both sides a common language when preparing a proposal and comparing a work plan with capacity. The tool deliberately shows no prices; pricing is set in a written proposal based on role, seniority, duration and working model.
How to build a good team structure
A common mistake in software teams is to focus only on the number of developers. A healthy team balances development, quality, design, infrastructure and management roles. Based on your selections, the Team Builder makes suggestions such as:
- Project manager or scrum master: recommended for teams of 5 or more for prioritisation, planning and reporting. See project manager leasing.
- QA / test engineer: roughly one tester for every 4–6 developers keeps defects out of production. See hire QA and test engineers.
- UI/UX designer: designs the user experience for mobile and web interfaces. See hire UI/UX designers.
- DevOps engineer: becomes essential for CI/CD, environment management and monitoring as the number of developers grows. See hire DevOps engineers.
- Team lead: recommended for teams above 8 people to own technical decisions and code quality.
Large teams: 20 people and more
For teams above 20 people, several sub-teams, each with its own team lead, work better than one big team. Shared reporting, phased onboarding and a standard onboarding process are planned up front. 360 Soft can build teams from 1 to 200+ people; for a dedicated structure at this scale, see our offshore development center in Turkey page.
Illustrative scenario: a product company plans 4 Flutter developers, 2 Node.js backend developers, 1 UI/UX designer, 1 QA engineer and 1 project manager for 9 months. The tool shows 9 people and 81 person-months and suggests adding a team lead because the team is larger than 8 people.

Remote, on-site or hybrid team
Software and data roles usually work remotely or hybrid. On-site work is preferred for help desk, system/network and field roles, and for projects with strict internal security policies. Call center and support teams can run on a 24/7 shift plan. For suitable profiles, a start can typically be planned within 1–2 weeks, and a replacement process for any specialist who is not a good fit is defined in the contract.
Engagements with international clients run under a B2B service agreement with an NDA, IP assignment to the client and, where personal data is processed, a GDPR data processing agreement with Standard Contractual Clauses (UK IDTA for UK data); we also comply with Turkey’s KVKK. Local rules in your country apply as well, so a short legal review of the contract on your side is recommended. Not sure which model fits?

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Team Builder calculate prices?
No. The tool helps you plan team structure and capacity (person-months). Pricing is stated in a written proposal based on role, seniority, duration, working model and working-hours requirements.
What is a person-month and how is it calculated?
A person-month is the number of people multiplied by the duration in months. A 4-person team working for 6 months gives a total capacity of 24 person-months.
Is the information I enter stored?
No. Your selections are processed in your browser only. Nothing is sent unless you send the summary yourself via WhatsApp or email.
What should I do for a role that is not on the list?
Add roles that are not listed (for example a cyber security specialist, cloud architect or database administrator) as a note in your WhatsApp or email message. Several of these roles are covered on our IT staff leasing page.
How large a team can you build?
From a single specialist up to teams of 200+ people. For teams above 20 people, sub-teams, team leads and a shared reporting structure are planned.
How quickly can the team start?
It depends on role and seniority, but for suitable profiles a start can typically be planned within 1–2 weeks. Large teams are onboarded in phases.
How should I choose the seniority level?
Senior or Lead fits critical architecture decisions and team leadership, Mid fits roles producing within a defined framework, and Junior fits supporting roles working under supervision. If you are unsure, choose Mixed.
What happens if a specialist is not a good fit?
For team leasing and outsourcing services, a replacement process is defined in the contract; a new, pre-screened candidate is proposed in place of the specialist who is not a good fit.
Can the team work remotely for a company outside Turkey?
Yes. Most software and data roles work remotely from Istanbul with good overlap with European, UK and Middle East hours. On-site and hybrid set-ups are also possible.
Which contract do you use for leased teams?
A B2B service agreement with an NDA and IP assignment to the client. Where personal data is processed, a GDPR data processing agreement with Standard Contractual Clauses (UK IDTA for UK data) is added, and we also comply with KVKK.
