Key benefits of using staff augmentation

• Immediate availability• Proven quality• Scaling potential• Process integration




Immediate availabilityOne of the key reasons Drupal agencies decide to outsource work to other teams is the shortage of in-house resources in specific skillsetAt AGILEDROP we make our developers available to start with the work two days after inquiryThis enables our clients to act fast




Proven qualityAs a web development company ourselves, we are fully aware of challenges of recruiting developersWe are still doing a leap of faith every time we hire a new person to join our Drupal team, but after a feew weeks we know if we made the right decisionWhen clients hire our developers, they eliminate the risk of doing a bad hireWe make sure they are fully onboard and follow all of the standards and best practice in the Drupal




Scaling potentialGood developers are not so easy to find, so you need to keep tap in the Drupal community to have the visibilityHaving a backlog of potential candidates is also useful, so when the time comes to make a new hire, you already have some optionsAGILEDROP is addressing two target markets: potential clients and potential co-workersWe are deeply connected with the local Drupal community. We are treating recruitment leads with the same importance as sales opportunities




Process integrationWe learned that partners do not want their processes to get broken when working with usThey want our developers to join their team and work alongside themThey start the day by syncing with the customer's project managers on a meeting or over chatDuring the day they let them know about the progress and when they will be out for lunchOne hour before the end of the day, they sync again and announce that they are leaving soon




Connecting staff augmentation and project management

Drupal staff augmentation should be:

a) Saving cost of employment

b) Increasing productivity

c) Deliver quality

If any of those requirements is not meet, this outsourcing strategy is not really workingWhen processes are not set and project management is not properly handled, this solution does not apply and usually backfires




Whenever we see the cooperation could fail due to bad project management, we act fastUsually, the solution is to move to a more traditional outsourcing strategy that also involves project management, but with a time and materials agreementThis takes a bit of control from the client (the control they didn't have in the first place) and puts more accountability on our end
