What is Managed Teams? A model to outsource your IT project

If the IT Staff Augmentation modality is based on hiring temporary staff to join your local team, this changes when we talk about Managed Teams. And it is that it consists of hiring an autonomous team that is in charge of the development of your project from start to finish, following the guidelines of the company that hires them.

 

Managed Teams execute decision-making more effectively, taking into account all the points of view of the team members. It is a more natural collaboration, in which everyone is focused on the final result.

 

Among the main advantages that companies find when hiring Managed Teams is their ability to respond to complex project situations, acting quickly and adapting to circumstances. As they are highly trained and experienced professionals, they know how to react to unexpected events that arise in software development.
