:
Montreal companies often turn to business software development consulting services to find developer resources for an upcoming project. Finding talented software developers certainly does have a positive effect on the lifecycle of a project, but it is only one part of the formula for project success. Every project requires a well-rounded team, including talent dedicated to crucial tasks outside of development.
Your company should plan staffing beyond the software development team. As early as possible, your IT project should bring in professionals in business analysis, software requirements documentation and other key roles that work together toward the success of a project.
A Balanced Team
You know that your project should be staffed before development work begins, but you may not consider how important some roles are for the planning period. Project managers, product managers and business analysts should be in place in order to establish scope, effectively outline goals and determine methods and approaches the team will use to plan, build, test and release the end product.
Other important roles that should be filled to create a balanced team include:
•Software requirements and technical documentation professionals: Business analysts perform a significant amount of documentation and often work in conjunction with product managers to record requirements. A project with a large scope and many team members should be staffed with additional documentation professionals.
•Training professionals: Projects that build products for end users within your enterprise may need documentation professionals who specialize in user guides or training and support.
•QA professionals: If your existing development team is expanding to handle additional work, you will most likely need additional testing resources.

Your company will be able to assemble the project team much faster if you use a consulting service that can provide professionals for all areas of project work.
