IT Staff Augmentation FAQ
Referring to the temporary hiring of contingent employees, staff augmentation enhances a business’s personnel capacity by patching up emergent employee needs. Originally, hiring non-permanent workers was a regular practice for filling in for in-staff employees in cases of unforeseen absence.
In contrast, nowadays, contingent work, and, in particular, staff augmentation, is what allows for the most precise and cost-efficient engagement of highly trained experts with the most relevant to the given project expertise. Modern organizations, especially in the IT industry, benefit greatly from this pertinent trend.
There are different types of IT staff augmentation models that an organization can use depending on its needs and goals. Here are some of the most common types:
Time and Material: This is a common model where the augmented staff is hired on an hourly or daily basis, and the organization pays for the actual time and materials used. This model is suitable for projects with unpredictable timelines, scope or requirements.
Dedicated team: In this model, the organization hires a dedicated team of augmented staff for a specific project or period of time. This team works exclusively on the project for the organization and may be managed by either the organization or an external vendor.
Project-based: In this model, the augmented staff is hired for a specific project, which has a defined scope and timeline. This model is often used for short-term projects with specific objectives.
Managed services: In this model, an external vendor is responsible for managing the entire project or part of it. This may include managing the augmented staff and overseeing the project from start to finish.
On-demand: This model is typically used for short-term or one-off tasks that require specific skills or expertise. The organization can quickly access specialized talent to complete the task without the need for a long-term commitment.
IT staff augmentation differs from project outsourcing in two respects: scope and responsibility.
Firstly, while staff augmentation attracts extra virtual resources to assist the domestic team in processing the load of tasks, outsourcing means delegating the whole project, or its components, to an outside vendor.
So as to the second component, IT staff augmentation leaves project management to the in-house teams whereas project outsourcing involves taking full responsibility for the management, and thus, the outcomes within the project.
YES, if you have experts in your team who will perform the roles of CTO and Product Manager, and will be able to instruct, coordinate, and manage the workload of tech specialists on a daily basis.
NO, if your team lacks a technical expert who will perform the team’s day-to-day workload management, and control the developers’ productivity and performance quality. In this case, we recommend you choose the Managed Team Model.
