Build, buy or customize?
Customize an existing tool
- Buy
- Customize (best fit)
- Build
- Most of your process is common, with two steps that are yours alone.
- Your budget covers setup and changes, not a full custom build.
- You have tried an off-the-shelf tool, so you know what is missing.
- Who it is for
- Teams deciding whether to buy software, adapt one they can get today, or have something built.
- How long
- About 10 questions, around 3 minutes.
- What you get
- A plain recommendation with the reasons behind it. Sometimes the honest answer is to buy.
