Staffing on RPA projects can be frustrating. How is it logical to staff four managers to two developers? Don’t need multiple spreadsheets and status updates - need coders!

Hahaha I see this all the time. So much overhead. Perhaps people think it's like a traditional engagement formula where x amount of manager hours should be slated for y amount of staff/senior hours?

Fully agree. RPA is tactical solution with quick wins and does not need this type of staffing structure.

Depends on the role being played by the managers. EP, given his/her focus on maximizing revenue while ensuring successful client delivery, would be very logical on resourcing in this stated structure as the cost of delivery would be high

Jap, this driving up cost /profit is the motivation. While the customer and manager except the output from 4 developers 🤣

Oh yeah! I work for a startup and we are only two consultants on the project - one architect and one developer

Handling couple of accounts

Me as Architect and rest all technical folks...no managers...super ROI.

I am manager, architect and onsite resource with offshore teams and added one more onsite support developer recently.


Agile and TDD drive my projects and clients are happy with immediate ROI.

Use Funnel up structure for success .hybrid approach like traditional management folks expecting agile development is set for disaster..

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work. But, as of the last couple years..it’s just more about stability, keeping working relationships happy, building finances, i.e. it’s just a job. Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.
