Discussion related to Software Organizational Structures

[kavita varun]

Plan to return to India from US and has 5+ years of J2ee Experience. I was wondering how are organization structures in India nowadays, for custom development environments. One typical development project may have minimum 2 and not sure of the bigger nunmber. When i left 3 to 4 developers use to be lead Team Lead. My question in this context is what is project lead ?

I am starting this discussion thread and would like to discuss structures both in MNC and small companies.

The hierarchy is totally company specific. Even the description of the role played by the person depends on the company and the project within the company

Something like this:

Associate Software Engineer (0 to 2 years) - coding
Software Engineer (2 to 4 years) - coding
Senior Software Engineer (4 to 6 years) - coding and managing team
Team Lead - managing team
Project Lead
Project Manager

Thanks Ankur. In our Organization we have Developer, Lead developer and Project Manager. We do not have the concept of a project lead. I am not sure what is the role of a project lead. I have seen organizations with role of work leads who are responsible for the assignment of projects.

Is it possible for you to tell me how much experience we are talking for a
project lead ?
