Human Resource Planning for Technology

StartWise Value Proposition

Qualified, efficient employees are integral to building a strong technological team. When building your technology organization, you need to prepare clear job descriptions, responsibilities and profiles for each position. Your resource hiring plan, including your outsourcing and offshore outsourcing plans, should be aligned with your software development plan. For example, you may need program managers with offshore outsourcing experience or testers who are used to working with a global development team.

Aspects like hierarchy, experience in dealing with vendors and technology partners, and communication in a global development environment also affect the Organization and Product Development phase. In the startup phase, entrepreneurs are often hard pressed for time and resources to devote to these activities. In order to hire the best people for these jobs, consulting with technical resource experts is often helpful.
