We’ve worked on more than 100 projects between us and have seen all sorts of resource models for technology implementation, from complete in-house project teams to most roles being outsourced to external specialists.
There isn’t a one-size fits all solution to resourcing migration projects. In this podcast, we explore the value outsourcing can add to your project, and discuss when it’s appropriate.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a sales pitch! As experienced consultants, we both know there are projects that don’t need contractor or consultant support and can be run using a lean project team. However, it’s important to know how when and why you might need to invest in external support to compliment your internal team.
In this episode we explore:
- When you don’t need to invest in external resource
- What roles outsourcing can satisfy & why they’re needed
- The role of contractors: what skills do ecommerce teams typically lack in-house?
- Specific skills like integrations and storefront setup > being able to scrutinise agency recommendations on a tech level
- Handling design and content production for launch
- Technical Discovery phase
- How do you control a blended model with internal and external roles?
