Managed Pods
A complete, durable cross-functional team that owns a product surface end to end — discovery through production support — against outcomes you set quarterly, with our delivery lead accountable for throughput.
This is for you if
- You have a product area nobody internally has the capacity to own
- You want an outcome commitment, not a timesheet
- You need to stand up a capability now and absorb it internally in a year
What you get
A whole team, not a group of specialists
Product owner, tech lead, engineers, QA and a fractional designer, staffed as a durable unit that stays together. Team longevity is the single most reliable predictor of delivery performance we have found.
Quarterly outcome contract
Each quarter opens with a one-page outcome contract naming the business measure that will move. Scope inside the quarter is ours to negotiate; the outcome is not.
Flow metrics published weekly
Throughput, cycle time, work in progress, change failure rate and deployment frequency go to a dashboard you own. You do not have to ask how it is going.
Absorption path built in
From month six, your engineers pair into the pod on a schedule, and the handover plan is reviewed at every quarterly business review.
