Build vs Buy Matrix Decision Framework template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This slide presents a clear and visually appealing matrix to help organizations decide between building software solutions in-house or purchasing them from external vendors. The matrix is divided into four sections, considering two key factors: Software Development Maturity and Uniqueness of Need. The colorful, well-organized layout categorizes the decision-making process into “Buy packaged solution or build components,” “Buy components or build internally,” “Buy packed solution,” and “Build with partner,” making it easy for teams to evaluate their options based on these factors.

The icons and color-coded segments further enhance the clarity and user-friendliness of the slide. Whether you’re discussing development strategies, vendor management, or internal project planning, this matrix provides a professional, easily understandable framework for making informed decisions. It works well in presentations related to technology strategy, software development, procurement, or business analysis.

Who is it for

This slide is perfect for CTOs, product managers, procurement specialists, and business leaders who are involved in decision-making regarding software development strategies. It’s also ideal for consultants or advisors who work with organizations on software solution choices, IT project managers, and anyone presenting build vs buy scenarios.

Other Uses

It is versatile enough to explain any scenario where two options need to be compared across multiple dimensions.
