How Having Dedicated Teams can Help Deliver Certainty

Having talented and motivated people in the team is more imperative than delivering a project. When planning to deliver a project, it is best to consider certain points. You ought to identify the common goal, look for an agreed approach or idea, the delivery constraints, quality, et al. Delays can occur. But, figuring them out at the beginning can mitigate risk. In addition, meticulous planning can help alleviate this risk and ensure continuity isn’t affected.

Considering the size, skills, and expertise of the team can be of great value. Of course, some prerequisites must be in place to succeed. The working method of a dedicated team can seem simple, but it is actually hard to master it. The beauty of working in groups is that you get to know people better and try to create a solid bond with them.

7 traits of a dedicated team

Flexible work location

A dedicated team should be given the flexibility to work from any location. In short, it should be possible for them to work onsite or from a remote location. This is an important factor that should be ticked for dedicated teams. This strikes a balance that supports the client-supplier relationship.

 Team size

An organization can have single or multiple development teams. But there must be a unified model that supports both teams. In general, each team has a fair amount of critical team members working alongside a group of shared resources. These core team members work within a single team and are solely utilized by that team. In contrast, shared resources work across multiple teams and extend their support when needed.

Team composition

Team members come from various sources and the combination can greatly vary. Irrespective of the team composition, it is vital to keep everyone in the team motivated and engaged. The team should be given the opportunity to decide among themselves on how to properly fulfill their responsibilities. This greatly impacts the team and fosters a healthy and productive work environment.

Information and communication

Stakeholders should have access to accurate and apposite information at all times. It is an agreed fact that it is not always possible to measure what we can’t improve. It is the visibility of progress that ensures people are readily able to react and respond to issues that arise. Having physical reports can save a lot of time, but it should not replace or hamper in-person communication. If you get to know that there is an issue within the team by checking the reports, then it is a sign that there is a lack of communication. It is the best choice to use online systems to share information if you are working with dispersed teams. By doing so, teams can save a lot of time since the interested parties can fetch the information when needed instead of waiting for production.

 Quality and efficiency

Quality and efficiency go hand in hand. The quality of service and the quality of deliverables are the critical parameters for success. They are needed to bring in a healthy and competitive partnership. Efficiency is all about doing the right thing, and quality is all about doing the thing right. It is of no use in producing quality output if you are not able to deliver it on time. A dedicated team helps produce an outcome that matches or exceeds your requirements. Quality, on the whole, is a team responsibility and should not depend on one specific person. The values, ethics, and principles of the team are built-in and will significantly impact the quality of work produced by the team members.

Agility, versatility, and continuity

It should be possible for you to add teams while also managing operational risks effectively. It is vital to check that there is no disruption to the existing teams and they continue to operate at agreed levels. Also, ensure that the quality level of the service or output doesn’t drop. At times, there may be little to no work. So, prioritizing work carefully and exhibiting versatility can help address this issue.
