The key difference that can make or break your next project.

Your company’s growing fast. Your internal tools and spreadsheets can’t keep up. You’re ready to build something new—maybe an app, a platform, or custom software to streamline your processes.

You face a crucial decision:

“Should we hire a developer—or partner with a dedicated product team?”

The choice isn’t about coding skills alone. It determines how your project moves, grows, and succeeds (or fails).

Here’s how to know what’s right for your business:

Hiring a Developer: When it makes sense

Hiring a developer can be ideal if:

• You already have clear requirements and detailed specifications.

• You (or someone internally) can manage, guide, and review their work.

• You simply need capacity—someone skilled enough to execute your precise vision.

If you’ve got the plan, the tech leadership, and just need an extra pair of hands, a developer fits perfectly.

However…

Where this often goes wrong:

• If your idea isn’t clearly defined yet.

• If your team lacks product leadership or technical expertise.

• If you need strategic input, decision-making help, or proactive communication.

Without clear direction, hiring just one or two developers can lead to confusion, delays, and wasted budget. It’s like hiring a builder without having an architect or blueprints.
