Limitations of Traditional Development Organizations

The usual way to address these challenges is by setting up or expanding a development organization, but this approach has its own set of issues:

• Resource-Intensive Hiring and Training
  • Recruiting skilled developers, especially those familiar with specific or outdated technologies, is costly and time-consuming.
• Skills Bottlenecks
  • There's a shortage of engineers with expertise in niche or legacy systems, leading to competition and higher salaries.
• Inefficient Scaling
  • Adding more developers doesn't always translate to increased productivity due to coordination overhead and communication barriers.
• Maintenance Overheads
  • Larger teams can increase the complexity of project management and escalate operational costs.
• Delayed Time-to-Market
  • The extended timelines for onboarding and coordination can slow down the delivery of new features or updates.
