Staff augmentation — engagement models
How we approach resource augmentation
What can you expect?
Each resourcing model includes a ramp-up period. This allows us to introduce resources into your team over time, ensuring minimal disruption to your core and critical business processes by avoiding a ‘big bang’ transition. This approach also means that, as new team members join, core team members can help with onboarding, ensuring everyone understands the project’s goals and their role within the team.
In the early days of the engagement, we spend as much face-to-face time with your organisation as possible to integrate the teams and build relationships. Working together in this way facilitates close cooperation, encourages knowledge-sharing, and contributes to a more unified team.
We use the agile methodology for software development, working in short iterations with constant collaboration and regular feedback loops between the teams and stakeholders. Nevertheless, we are flexible in our approach to software development, adapting to your preferred ways of working or helping to introduce agile methodologies where applicable.

- 2-5 Developers,
- 1-2 QAs,
