What is team extension and how does it differ from other outsourcing models?

Team extension is an outsourcing model where a company extends its existing team with remote professionals to augment its capabilities and capacity. The extended team works as an integral part of the in-house team and follows the same processes and methodologies. This model differs from other outsourcing models, such as project-based or staff augmentation, as the extended team becomes an integrated part of the client's team, making it easier to ensure effective communication and collaboration. Additionally, team extension is often more flexible than traditional outsourcing models, as it allows for more control over the team's activities and progress.

What is team extension?

Team extension is a popular approach adopted by companies that require additional developers to join their existing teams in order to complete various web or service-based projects. In this approach, companies hire dedicated developers who possess the relevant experience, skills, and expertise needed for the particular project.

These developers work alongside the company's existing team, complementing their efforts and enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. Team extension provides companies with access to a wider pool of talented developers, who can provide their expertise and experience to the project, while also helping the existing team develop new skills and capabilities.

With team extension, the company can tap into a pool of talent and expertise that is not available in-house, and also save money on overhead costs associated with in-house employees, such as office space, benefits, and equipment.

When to decide on team extension?

If your company is experiencing rapid growth and needs to scale up quickly, a team extension or team outsourcing can be a great option. You can quickly add a team of skilled professionals to your existing team without going through the lengthy hiring process. A team extension allows you to quickly ramp up or down your staffing as needed.

When you can't find enough developers within local talent pool team extension is the right choice. If your in-house team lacks certain skills or expertise, a staff augmentation can provide access to professionals with the specific skill set you need. This can be especially useful for companies working on complex projects that require a diverse set of skills.
