I was involved in a project recently where the team had very different views on a few technical and commercial issues, and someone suggested bringing in Expert Services to provide an independent perspective. I have never worked with external experts before, so I am curious about when people feel that step genuinely adds value rather than creating another layer of discussion. For those who have been through similar situations, did outside input help move things forward, or did success mostly depend on how willing everyone was to work together and accept the findings?
