Add capacity where it helps
Begin with the team’s current workload and identify where an additional person can contribute. Specify the technical skills, collaboration needs and tools used by the team, then describe how work will be assigned and reviewed. This makes it easier to assess whether the need is for a specialist, a generalist or extra delivery capacity.
Integrate the person into the team
Decide who will provide direction, how progress will be reviewed and what access or onboarding is needed. A brief introduction to the team’s practices and priorities helps an augmented resource contribute sooner. Revisit the arrangement as project needs and workload change.
