Engagement Model

Dedicated Engineering & Product Teams, Fully Aligned to Your Roadmap

  • Stable, cross-functional squads embedded in your delivery cadence
  • Predictable capacity and velocity for critical product and platform work
  • Governance, metrics, and knowledge retention built in from day one

When a dedicated team is the right choice

Use a dedicated team when you need sustained ownership and predictable throughput, not just extra hands for short-term tasks.

You own a strategic initiative that can’t slip

There is a product, platform, or programme with executive visibility where missed timelines or quality issues have real business impact.

You need capacity without permanent headcount

You want a stable, long-lived team but can’t or don’t want to grow internal headcount at the pace the roadmap demands.

You want true ownership, not body leasing

You’re looking for a team that owns outcomes, makes decisions, and improves the system—not individual contractors waiting for tickets.

You have gaps in critical skills or seniority

You’re missing key capabilities—such as senior engineering, product management, architecture, or DevOps—that are slowing delivery.

You’re running multiple initiatives in parallel

Your internal teams are at capacity, but the business still needs new products, integrations, or platform work delivered in parallel.

You care about knowledge retention and continuity

You want a consistent team that understands your domain, systems, and stakeholders, reducing onboarding churn and delivery risk.

You need clearer delivery governance and metrics

You want transparent backlogs, predictable velocity, and clear reporting to stakeholders on progress and value delivered.

You’re modernising while keeping the lights on

You must evolve legacy platforms or ways of working without destabilising business-as-usual operations.

You want to uplevel internal teams over time

You see value in pairing, coaching, and process improvements that gradually raise the bar for your broader engineering organisation.

Where this works best

How organisations use dedicated teams to deliver more, faster

Financial Services

Modernising a legacy core platform without disrupting BAU

Stand up a dedicated squad to refactor legacy services, build new APIs, and gradually migrate customers—while internal teams focus on regulatory change and day‑to‑day operations.

SaaS / B2B

Owning a product line from discovery through incremental delivery

Deploy a cross-functional team (PM, design, engineering, QA) to take responsibility for a specific product area, from user research and roadmap shaping to continuous delivery and optimisation.

Technology / Enterprise IT

Building and scaling internal developer platforms

Task a dedicated team with designing, building, and operating your internal developer platform—golden paths, CI/CD, observability—so feature teams can ship faster with stronger guardrails.

Retail & Consumer

Standing up a data & analytics capability for the business

Create a stable team to own data ingestion, modelling, and BI delivery, enabling consistent dashboards, self‑service analytics, and a backlog of high‑value data products.

Manufacturing / Logistics

Extending capacity for a critical transformation programme

Embed a dedicated team alongside your programme office to deliver integrations, workflow automation, and custom tooling, without overloading scarce internal specialists.

How we work

A dedicated team that behaves like your own

We build stable, accountable teams that plug into your organisation’s ways of working while bringing our delivery discipline, engineering standards, and continuous improvement mindset.

01

Clarify outcomes, scope, and operating model

Align on business objectives, success metrics, and the problem space. Define ownership boundaries, engagement length, team shape, and how the team integrates with your existing org and governance.

02

Design the right team and cadence

Assemble a cross-functional team with the skills and seniority mix to meet your goals. Establish rituals, communication channels, and decision rights that match your product and engineering culture.

03

Embed, onboard, and stabilise delivery

Run a structured onboarding to absorb domain knowledge, systems context, and stakeholders. Within the first few sprints, establish a predictable delivery rhythm, transparent backlog, and baseline metrics.

04

Continuously optimise and scale

Refine processes, tooling, and team composition as needs evolve. Scale up or down with clear triggers, while maintaining knowledge continuity, documentation, and quality standards.

05

Transition, retain, or expand

Plan for long-term ownership—transitioning capabilities to your internal teams, retaining the squad for ongoing product growth, or replicating the model across additional domains.

Business Outcomes

  • Predictable delivery capacity aligned to strategic priorities
  • Faster time-to-market without over-hiring or overloading internal teams
  • Deep domain knowledge retained within a stable, long-lived squad
  • Clear accountability, governance, and measurable business impact
  • Flexible scaling with minimal disruption to existing teams
