Everything you need to know about Managed Delivery from Toptal.

Managed Delivery is a full end-to-end delivery service from Toptal. With Managed Delivery, Toptal partners with you to understand your goals, source talent from our network of 20,000+ vetted professionals, and manage the teams, tools, and processes to deliver optimal solutions.

Toptal offers On-Demand Talent and Managed Delivery engagements.

On-Demand Talent: You are responsible for selecting talent and managing their engagements. You can benefit from a high level of flexibility, and you can choose to scale your team up or down as desired.

Managed Delivery: Toptal is responsible for managing the team, tools, and processes needed to achieve your deliverables. A delivery manager will help keep your project progressing as expected, drive cross-functional collaboration, provide solutions and discovery support, act as your main point of contact, and source and manage the talent team.

If you know the product or outcome you’re looking to achieve but are not quite sure how to get there or need extra support to realize your goals, Managed Delivery could be the right fit for you. Through the Toptal Managed Delivery offering, Toptal takes on the work of building and managing your team of talent so that you receive the quality deliverables expected.

Toptal’s unprecedented Managed Delivery capabilities and our thoroughly vetted talent network allows us to support nearly any type of project, from business transformations or workshops, to full web platform and mobile application builds.

Toptal’s Managed Delivery process includes three key stages:

  1. Define problem: Partner with a delivery manager from our team who will come to understand your project objectives and business demands and assist you with defining custom requirements tailored to your needs.
  2. Design solution: Toptal’s delivery managers source key talent from our talent network and get your approval at specific milestones, all to allow a complete delivery that aligns with your business strategy.
  3. Deliver outcome: Toptal delivers the agreed solution with maintenance and support as needed, and a post-delivery model for ongoing collaboration.

To get started, request a call with an industry expert. One of our industry experts will then reach out to discuss your challenge, get a sense of the project, and confirm the delivery model you’re interested in. If Managed Delivery is the right path, you will then be introduced to your dedicated delivery manager who will build your team, and partner with you to define the project scope and start the Managed Delivery process.

We provide desired outcomes by:

  • Defining specific deliverables and a customized approach for every project.
  • Informing you of progress through continuous client engagement and opportunities to sign off on various requirements or milestones throughout the engagement.
  • Leveraging our trusted industry leadership, providing relevant insights, and leveraging industry best practices.
  • Industry experts: Toptal’s exclusive talent network consists of knowledgeable experts from various backgrounds, industries, and specializations. This expansive network allows us to have a world-class team ready for your projects when needed.
  • Simplicity and convenience: Toptal’s Managed Delivery provides a customized, hand-selected talent team to provide your deliverables. Planning, processes, tools, execution, and reporting are all handled by Toptal.
  • A bespoke white-glove service: A dedicated delivery manager shepherds the engagement from start to finish.
  • Specialized knowledge and talent when you need it: Toptal’s Managed Delivery handles complex and large-scale projects that require specialized expertise and resources, which you may not have in-house.
