I have been reading through a lot of interesting posts here about development challenges and project planning, and something that’s been on my mind lately is how teams handle changes in workload or skill requirements, especially on software projects.
We all know that development needs can shift quickly, new features, urgent bug fixes, or scaling up for a big release. One solution a lot of companies turn to is
software staff augmentation, bringing in external experts to seamlessly join a team for specific tasks or timeframes. It’s a flexible way to fill skill gaps without long-term commitments.
I’m curious to hear what experiences folks here might have:
- Have you worked with augmented teams or external developers?
- What helped make collaboration smooth (or difficult)?
- Do you think this approach works better than hiring full-time for most projects?
Would love to get a discussion going, especially tips on avoiding common pitfalls and improving team workflows!
