**Example Company Structure:**

Let’s consider a small software development company with a team of 5 developers working on React projects:

1. **Project Manager**:

– **Responsibilities**: Oversees the entire project lifecycle, communicates with clients, defines project scope, and manages resources.

– **Tools**: Project management software, communication tools, and scheduling tools.

2. **System Analyst**:

– **Responsibilities**: Analyzes client requirements, translates them into technical specifications, and creates system design documents.

– **Tools**: Requirement gathering tools, diagramming tools, and documentation software.

3. **Developers (Team of 5)**:

– **Responsibilities**: Develops React applications according to project requirements, collaborates with other team members, and ensures code quality.

– **Tools**: Integrated development environments (IDEs), version control systems (e.g., Git), and collaboration platforms.

4. **Tester**:

– **Responsibilities**: Tests the application for bugs, usability issues, and performance problems, and provides feedback for improvements.

– **Tools**: Testing frameworks, bug tracking software, and automated testing tools.

5. **Deployment Team**:

– **Responsibilities**: Manages the deployment process, configures servers, and ensures the application is deployed successfully.

– **Tools**: Deployment automation tools, server configuration tools, and monitoring software.

**Estimated Monthly Earnings**:

The earnings of a team of 5 developers can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, experience, and project complexity. However, for a rough estimate:

– Assuming each developer earns an average of $5000 per month.

– Total monthly earnings for the team would be $25,000.

Keep in mind that this is a simplified example, and actual earnings can vary significantly based on various factors. Additionally, the company’s expenses, such as overhead costs and taxes, should also be taken into account when determining profitability.
