Context
The situation we found
Professional services firm serving 300+ enterprise clients
Engagement model: Dedicated development team
The firm had clear product demand from clients but could not hire senior engineers fast enough. Contract developers had produced inconsistent code with no test coverage or deployment discipline.
Challenge
What was blocking the business
The constraints that had to be resolved before any technology decision mattered.
Approach
How we solved it
The decisions that produced the outcome, not a feature list.
Pod with named engineers
A stable five-person pod — tech lead, two engineers, QA and a part-time designer — working the client's backlog under their product owner.
Codebase stabilisation first
Two sprints spent adding test coverage, CI and automated deployments before feature work resumed.
Transparent delivery cadence
Two-week sprints, shared board, demo every sprint and published velocity — the client sees exactly what they are buying.
Knowledge stays with the client
Documentation, architecture decision records and handover-ready practices from day one, with no lock-in.
