What We Do

Remote Development Teams

Between us we share more than thirty years of experience working remotely and specialising in building and managing remote engineering teams of various sizes.

We help our clients with the full range of tasks necessary for building efficient, performant and happy, that is sustainable remote software teams:

  • Setting up a recruitment pipeline
  • Interviewing for key positions
  • Establishing onboarding and training programs
  • Setting up collaboration tools, processes and best practices
  • Laying out the fundamentals of team culture

Product Development Strategy

Having taken dozens of software products through the complete product development cycle at every scale from short-lived exploratory prototypes to mature platforms with millions of users, we have found that the main difference between a successful project and an expensive mistake is mostly found in the product development strategy.

We help our clients with establishing the right framework for developing software products in a pragmatic and lean way:

  • Identify strategic goals and limitations
  • Focus on customer needs 
  • Decide how to measure success
  • Understand how to leverage experimentation and minimal viable products (MVP)
  • Establish  a lean product lifecycle
  • Deliver business value at a regular cadence
  • Embrace the DevOps mindset

Remote Work Transformation 

Recently many companies have found themselves transitioning to a distributed work model. Whether the main motivation is better access to global talent, scaling of operations or adapting to the global pandemic, there are many challenges along the way. 

Using our multi-decade experience with all-remote as well as hybrid work models, we help companies transition to a new way of working:

  • Identify goals and priorities
  • Align with key stakeholders 
  • Introduce tools and best practices for efficient communication flows
  • Build new collaboration competencies
  • Adapt and evolve career development and other HR processes
