Embedded team

A multidisciplinary team, working alongside yours.

Sometimes the plan is right and the team is short. Hiring takes months, and contractors arrive one at a time with no shared way of working.

We put a product team inside yours: product, research, design and engineering, working in your tools and your rituals. We add capacity, lift the way the work gets done, and leave your people stronger for it.

For a programme of work · More delivered, and a stronger team afterwards

What you get

A team, not a set of contractors

Product leads, researchers, designers, content designers, developers and agile coaches, shaped to the gap in your team rather than a fixed bundle.

How it runs

From first conversation to a working team

  1. Find the gap

    We talk to your product owner and team about what is slowing delivery and which skills are missing.

  2. Shape the team

    A team built for that gap, with named people you meet before they start.

  3. Join in

    The team joins your rituals and tools, and picks up work from your backlog in the first sprint.

  4. Review each cycle

    We check the mix every few sprints, and change it as the work changes.

  5. Hand over

    When your team is ready, we step back, with the practices and documentation left in place.
