Why You Should Augment Your In-House Staff With a Product-Oriented Delivery (POD) Team

In today’s fast-paced corporate environment, businesses often struggle with siloed data processes that hinder efficiency and lead to significant costs. As companies seek more agile structures to improve cross-departmental collaboration, they often face challenges in the adoption of new methodologies, which is a costly and time-consuming endeavor, especially for sectors like healthcare, where non-core processes take a lower priority. This is where the adaptable Wayland Product-Oriented Delivery (POD) model comes into play.

The Benefits of Contracting an External POD Team

The POD model is considered a part of the agile framework, which is a software development strategy that leverages small cross-functional teams to tackle specific project tasks or product requirements. A POD’s team members collectively possess the necessary skills to design, develop, test, and operate a product autonomously, making it a reliable resource, even if it operates externally to your organization.

Augmenting your in-house capabilities with external POD teams, such as the Wayland PODs, may bring various advantages to your organization, including:

• Increased efficiency: By outsourcing the complex tasks that extend beyond your organization’s core processes, your in-house team will be able to focus on its primary duties, thereby driving overall productivity.?
• Timely milestone delivery: External POD teams manage their tasks in line with the requirements and timelines defined jointly with your organization, ensuring that deadlines are met consistently. Our experience has shown that PODs lead to faster ticket resolution and, accordingly, timely deliverables.
• Accelerated time-to-market: Shorter development cycles supported by your external POD team directly coincide with faster product placement, giving you a more competitive edge in the marketplace.
• Improved scalability: The integrated nature of the POD teams, which combine diverse disciplines, simplifies the hiring and onboarding processes for your organization. PODs are readily well-equipped to support your evolving needs without the delays usually associated with contracting specialized personnel. For this matter, here at Wayland Technologies?, we have a dedicated People and Culture team that ensures we always have the right experts at disposal.?
• Transparent collaboration: Due to its focus on clear goals and structured roadmaps, the POD model fosters transparency throughout the collaboration, ensuring total alignment between the partnering organizations. For example, Wayland PODs utilize robust project management and communication tools that allow clients to be well-informed about the progress of their product development at any time.
