Current state 1
A client-owned backlog needs capability the current team cannot supply alone.
With this model
A specialist contribution is integrated into that backlog without transferring the wider outcome to a separate project team.
Staff Augmentation engagement model
Specialist contribution inside a client-led team
Bring specialist engineering capability into your team while your organization keeps ownership of priorities, delivery direction and business decisions.
How it works
Place specialist contribution inside the client delivery system
The team-integrated shape keeps day-to-day direction with the client while exact allocation, staffing and commercial terms are confirmed during scoping.
Current state 2
Priorities change through the client's normal planning rhythm.
With this model
Day-to-day direction remains client-led while blockers and professional concerns stay visible.
Current state 3
Important implementation context risks remaining with one contributor.
With this model
Review and documentation practices keep knowledge usable by the client team.
