Collaboration models
Team augmentation
Our people inside your team, for extra capacity or for a specific skill.
It may be a full-time developer for a defined period, or a senior figure (an architect, a Scrum Master, a technical debt specialist) who joins for a few months. When the context is messy or your team is overloaded, a short, highly senior intervention often steadies the situation and lays the ground for more structured models.
You do not always need to open a structured project. Sometimes the problem is capacity: an overloaded team, a messy context, slow decisions, or the need for experience to steady a critical situation.
We place senior developers, architects or coordination figures alongside your team for a defined period, to increase the team's capacity, clarify constraints, reduce disorder and prepare a more structured phase. The value lies in making decisions faster, explicit and traceable, and the context more sustainable over time.
- When it makes sense
- A mature, ongoing context, or the need for a skill you do not have today.
- What we guarantee
- The people agreed upon, their real level of competence, and a replacement if it does not work out.
- What we need from you
- Technical direction and priorities stay with you but, if needed, we can take them on.
- How it is measured
- By how far your team's goals are reached.
When to use it
When the main problem is not the project but capacity: the team is under pressure, the context is messy, or experience is needed to make better decisions. It serves to steady things, speed them up and prepare the ground.
When to avoid it
When you expect the supplier to take responsibility for the outcome. Here the risk stays mostly with you: this model extends the team's capacity, it does not guarantee the result. If you want a guarantee on the outcome, you need a different model.
Not sure it is the right model for you?
The guidance survey takes three minutes, brings your situation into focus and points to the way of working that makes most sense right now. Or you can talk to an engineer to work out where to begin.
