Are you grappling with low productivity, high turnover, and team lack of motivation due to improper recruitment practices that neglect workplace culture, organisation, and team dynamics?
We'll organise your team of programmers and guide you on the appropriate recruitment strategy, criteria, tools to adopt, and the ideal profiles to hire. We aim to create optimal working conditions and conducive work culture for the seamless functioning of your programming teams and overall business operations.
The process includes:
Are the standards and rules within your organisation centralised and imposed, stifling innovation and team autonomy?
We assist in fostering autonomous and self-organising teams of programmers. We provide guidance on eliminating obstacles in organisational structures and adopting management approaches that positively impact productivity and employee retention.
The process relies on emphasising our core collaboration values: transparency, honesty, and courage.
We also facilitate the implementation of bottom-up communication, unlocking the creative potential of teams and restoring their sense of purpose and significance.
Your teams lack effective information exchange, engage in redundant activities differently, and are unaware of existing solutions? There's no rotation among programmers within the units, either?
By improving team communication, we'll enhance the flow of information, collaboration, and understanding among different groups within an organisation. It'll reduce misunderstandings and allow teams to work together towards shared objectives more seamlessly, fostering a more cohesive and productive work environment.
The process includes analysing trends in engineering processes, inter-team communication, and decision-making methods within your organisation. And, subsequently, recommend necessary changes, implementation, and ongoing consulting.
Senior programmers in your organisation lack time to mentor less experienced team members, or the team structure is not truly flat, with distinct roles such as "Senior, Lead, Chief, Guru" creating risks and possible Points of Failure?
We conduct personalised coaching sessions with programmers, assisting their integration into the team, analysing and establishing a work culture, creating learning and development paths, and reviewing code and current programming practices. We also prepare teams for collaboration with international clients, particularly in English-speaking teams and organisations.
Programmers lack the time to conduct qualifying interviews and onboard new hires due to high costs and the negative impact it has on the product?
We take the burden off your shoulders by handling the recruitment and onboarding process for new employees. It lets your team stay focused on their tasks, maintaining productivity and cohesiveness. It reduces the stress associated with recruitment while increasing its effectiveness by showcasing the work culture in practice. Our interviews are conducted in three languages: English, Italian, and Polish.
The process includes:
As an option, we offer one-on-one work with the candidate to ensure a smooth transition to their desired level of autonomy in task execution and address any onboarding challenges.
Looking for an analysis of the performance of your existing IT departments and/or assessing the overall situation within your company?
After carefully evaluating your organisation's needs and goals, we will identify areas that can be streamlined or automated. Subsequently, we will develop a comprehensive action plan to enhance operational efficiency, optimise business processes, and improve internal and external communication.
The process includes:
Do your teams tend to fall into the 'Big Bang release' trap, accumulating changes and embracing an approval-based culture rather than adopting a "delivery first" mindset with quick reversals?
We analyse your tools and challenges, evaluate code quality, solutions, and deployments, and provide guidance in solution-oriented approaches and risk analysis.
The process includes: educating teams on the differences between incremental and iterative software development, the concepts of "Fail Fast" versus the risks of "Big Bang Release", and assisting programmers in migrating towards a shorter change delivery cycle.
Are you struggling with excessive bureaucracy, a lack of skills in recognising crucial factors in managing programming teams, over-planning, and imposing suboptimal rules (that stifle creativity and demotivate those who feel most boxed in)?
We will analyse the work within your organisation and implement a work culture and programming practices based on Agile & Lean methodologies, emphasising people-centric approaches rather than processes alone.
Our role involves addressing various aspects of Agile practices, providing suggestions for experiments, conducting workshops on work techniques, error handling, estimation, and risk management. Additionally, we offer mentoring on team dynamics, the role of product owners, and effective communication with programmers.
Do you need a technical partner to take on engineering side and develop your product?
Do you lack the necessary skills to migrate your product?
We will handle the migration for you.
The process includes: a time- or progress-bound project, thorough analysis, seamless implementation, synchronisation, utilisation of cutting-edge tools, action planning, and a roadmap.
Our expertise in migrations ensures a smooth transition of your product, minimising disruptions and maximising the benefits of the new environment.
Do you want to scale your product, but the current system has limitations or costs that outweigh the profits?
We base scaling on recommendations for implementing or migrating to the most optimal software architecture, case-by-case. Does your solution require more scalability or integrity, or perhaps the difficulty is to find the right balance?
The process includes:
For Startups, we rewrite the MVPs or develop them from scratch in a way that ensures scalability and extensibility in the future. Although it may take slightly longer to develop than standard applications, the platforms we believe the best software is expandable not rewritable. This approach allows for easy expansion to any stage of the product's lifecycle without involving large teams or rewriting the MVP from scratch.
The technologies used to build your system may be outdated for the problem at hand, or you may no longer have personnel in your company who can manage them.
We know how to improve and maximise technology systems and infrastructure's effectiveness, efficiency, and performance.
The process includes:
Technology assessment, requirements gathering, system redesign, development, deployment and transition, training and knowledge transfer, ongoing support and consulting.
