- A team works exclusively on your project
- You manage priorities while we handle delivery
- Strong collaboration and scalability
🔹 Pros: Flexibility, full control, strong alignment
🔹 Cons: Requires hands-on involvement from your side
3. Staff Augmentation
Best for: When you need to expand your in-house team
- Access to skilled resources on demand
- Seamless integration with your internal workflow
- Great for filling skill gaps or meeting deadlines
🔹 Pros: Quick ramp-up, expertise on call
