Client gets a team with Team Lead. Client is involved into the team coordination and directly manages a Team Lead which manages the outsourced team.

This model could be useful for clients that have own project management business unit and need to attract a self-managed development team. It could be used in the large projects that could be divided into several threads with self-sustained teams working on their own agendas with moderate inter-communication requirements. Client: business domain, software requirements, development standards and processes, development environment. Contractor: development resources of required qualification level, technical expertise, infrastructure, communication channels. Usual size of team is 7-15 people.
