How to Ensure Flexibility in IT Projects
In today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, IT projects face constant shifts and challenges—from deadline extensions and rising costs to staffing shortages. So, how can we ensure that projects are not only completed on time and with high quality but also adaptable to unforeseen circumstances? Discover how flexible team augmentation with external experts provides the necessary agility to optimize resources and keep projects on track, regardless of internal staff shortages or changing requirements.
Technologies change, but the success of IT projects still depends on people. Two programmers and founders of the company TITANS shared what they have learned over 11 years in outsourcing about hiring speed, flexibility, and the power of a well-assembled crew. Their message: don’t chase the "best," but look for the best match for the specific mission. Even though IT has evolved from object-oriented to cloud and artificial intelligence, one factor remains unchanged: people. Every project is affected by scope changes, unexpected personnel turnover, or a temporary shortage of specialists. If these aren’t addressed in time, deadlines slip, budgets grow, and often reputational or legal issues follow. Meanwhile, companies constantly try to balance the number of active projects with available capacity. Sometimes projects overlap and the team gets "shuffled" left and right, other times gaps appear and talent sits unused. In both situations, the key is to be able to augment the crew quickly and purposefully.People determine the success of projects
