The lowest rate often carries the highest price tag in the end. Ever felt like your offshore team is just... there, but not truly part of the crew? That's how we felt. Until we switched gears. Our offshore team was once just a group of developers delivering code. But something was missing. The spark of collaboration, the shared vision—it was nowhere to be found. That's when we embraced staff augmentation. A dedicated team emerged, not just writing code, but shaping our product. They started as temporary hands, but soon became integral minds. We crafted a new framework to make this work: Timeline: We balanced short-term needs with long-term goals. Capabilities: We found partners, not just developers. Strategic Importance: We focused on core features, not just peripherals. True Cost: Factored in everything—overhead, knowledge transfer, and rework. The outcome? More than cost-effective. It was transformative. So, how do you integrate your team into the fold?
Furqan Aziz A Engineer Manager at Zendesk once told me that now companies are looking for collaborators instead of 10x engineers. so make yourself collaborator who can learn and make business out of their work to have some impact rather than shipping lines of code to production which will be deprecated after some years.
Collaboration is the key for sure, C Block ground is the main character tho 👆
Insightful
Great advice
Furqan Aziz Love how you turned the tide with your offshore team. It's all about embracing the human element in collaboration. When you shift from seeing them as just "hands" to recognizing them as "minds," magic happens. Your approach to balancing timelines and focusing on strategic importance is spot on. It's not just about the code; it's about creating a shared vision and culture.
