Agile Team Subscriptions Start at Just $49k/mo
Imagine not having to teach your development partner how Agile really works. Imagine a partner who's operating model mirrors your own and who is committed to building Agile excellence in partnership with you and your entire team. Now imagine an Agile contracting model that places emphasis on working software and not billable hours. Stop imagining and start your subscription today!
Agile Teams, Not Bodies
We hand craft high performance Agile teams and provision them to your site or ours. Our teams are built on a rock solid foundation of Scrum, XP, TDD and robust CI and QA automation know-how. We insure that our Agile teams are equipped with all the essential Agile disciplines necessary to insure a guarantee of velocity and working software each and every month.
Guaranteed Velocity
Our partnering and delivery model is built on an integrated, real-time Agile execution framework. This model is designed to integrate with your internal Agile teams and can operate co-located at your site or operate from our same-time-zone Agile software factories in Raleigh, NC and Argentina. The result? Guaranteed software velocity, quality and low-overhead collaboration (something your Agile teams will thank you for).
Time Zones Matter So We Work on Yours
We've spent nearly a decade helping U.S. clients re-train remote teams in India, Eastern Europe and China to work as part of a global Agile development program, and here's the dirty little secret noone wants to say out loud... time zones matter and they matter big time. Big time in ways that effect productivity, throughput, rework, product quality and ultimately cycle-time.
Let’s be clear, we're not saying working globally is wrong, nor that you should abandon Asia if you’re a U.S. based team. What we are saying is that when you ask U.S. based Agile Teams to work with partners whose time zone allows just 1-2 hours of productive overlap each day, your teams will be forced to compensate in ways that will slow velocity and lower product quality. If you have the freedom to choose, be smart. Make time zones work for you, not against you.

Finally, a Simple Agile Contract with No Fine Print
Until now, there were only two ways to contract for software development services, either pay by the hour or negotiate a fixed price contract with "us vs them" scope control. Let’s be candid, neither model supports an Agile culture or value system, and both are frequently abused by suppliers to maximize fee's and minimize delivered results. Our contracts are structured as monthly subscriptions that guarantee minimum velocity of working software and quality. Try that with your current partner.
