Doing more with less: Part 4 - making sure that buying is really better than building
This is the fourth article in a series of articles that describe how engineering leaders can do more with less in the post-zero interest rate era. The other articles in the series are:
- Doing more with less: Part 1 - Improving the developer experience (DevEx)
- Doing more with less: Part 2 - Buy don’t build using DDD
- Doing more with less: Part 3 - Buy don’t build using Wardley mapping
In parts 2 and 3 I described how to use DDD and Wardley mapping to make better buy vs buy decisions. In this article, I discuss some of the risks of buying rather than building and how to mitigate them.
