How to make an extended development team and resource augmentation work for you?
Though the extended development teams are cost-effective, flexible, and scalable, they don’t yield the best results unless you have a clear understanding of the scope of the project and resource allocation. Let’s discuss the best ways to drive maximum productivity from extended teams and resource augmentation.
1. Screen the external sources:
Spend your time screening extended team members to check whether they can meet the needs or not. Having the right people in the right place is the key to success. Working with the right company will help you get the exact team members you need and have the skills your team needs.
2. Dedicated tasks and goals:
Assign dedicated tasks for teams to avoid the cluttered process. Track them to know the status regularly. Make sure your goals are well-defined with a clear work methodology. With a good project manager the process will be as smooth as possible with consistent communications between both teams.
3. Project management tools:
As technology is ramping up year-on-year, there are many technology-driven project management tools available in the market. Use the best project management tools to streamline the operations to avoid micromanagement. We use the proven project management tool JIRA to manage projects.
4. Build trust:
Just because people are not in the office doesn’t mean they are away from work. Interact with the extended team members to build a cohesive culture that eventually builds trust between you and the extended tech development team. This will help motivate the whole team and drive to the end of your project.
5. Reward success:
Despite the scale and size, rewards and recognitions are crucial in building a competitive culture among teams. Celebrate milestones with tangible rewards development can take a long time and these members of your extended team could be part of your team for a long time. This will boost commitment and drive more attention to deliverables.
With the fast-paced globalisation, modern technology tools have blurred the distance between countries and even continents. We are all used to working from home and over long distances. The latest project management and communications tools have become a focal points in making project development seamless, effective and save you money.
