Determine the plan to close the gap. Here is where the organization returns to the strategic resourcing matrix we described in chapter 3 and provided in figure 3-1. What mix of internal staff and agile talent will provide the organization with the greatest opportunity to improve effectiveness and efficiency? What are the opportunities and prerequisites for building, buying, or renting expertise?

Finally, take action to implement the plan. The actions broadly fit into three categories. First, where will a change in the resourcing mix enable the organization to take greater advantage of agile resourcing? Use the strategic resourcing matrix from figure 3-1 to make this determination. Second, how should the composition of internal resources be modified to complement agile talent resourcing plans? For example, if project managers don’t have stage 3 skills, how can the organization accelerate their development and competence to make the best use of contractors and other externals? Third, be clear and insistent about the stage mix of external resources needed to deliver the value required and put in place a process of performance review and feedback to ensure the requirements are met.
