The Task Force Approach
Our primary objective is not just to provide development teams and consultancy, but also to tackle the major issues that are often be ignored and have a greater impact on your product than you might expect
We could talk a lot about how our Task Force development teams are great with solving issues
Instead, we go deeply and try to understand why these issues appeared inside your current structure. Just check yourself what we are talking about.
Meetings are necessary to coordinate the processes on the project, as well as to maintain the right atmosphere in the team. But is 4-5 phone calls really necessary every day? If you imagine that every call costs money, imagine how much is wasted.
Task Force approach leaves the only useful meetings

When deadlines are missed on a project, most often it is simply impossible to find those responsible for it. The work of one employee depends on another, his on a third, and so on. It turns out an endless circle and deadlines remain broken
We know how to interrupt this endless cycle

Adding a new employee to a project can create more problems than improvements. A senior employee will have to devote a lot of time to immersing the new in the project, which leaves little time to complete tasks. Productivity drops, work slows down.

planning is never linked to the actual result. In each sprint, 30-40% of the tasks are returned back to the backlog or their priorities are redistributed in accordance with what was planned for the upcoming sprint.
With the task force model, the sprint result is 85-90% of the planned one, without overworking

Little actual working time, as well as bad programming habits and low code quality practices, lead to an increase in technical debt. You are trying to fix this by adding new employees to the team, which leads to the above problems.
Task Force management model creates solid development practices and standards that keep up themselves inside the Task Forces and blocks negative impact on the product

We look for and analyze problem areas that are on the project and offer ways to solve them. Also at this stage, we find growth points for your business.
With the help of the task force group approach, we can deal with problems efficiently and quickly.
We help to scale the project and prevent the reappearance of old problems on the project and the emergence of new ones
A full code review of your code base, an assessment of the project's potential for vertical and /or horizontal scaling depending on the needs project
Evaluation of the applied processes in the context of time management, description of tasks, selection of priorities, and distribution of these tasks among the development team
Evaluation of the accuracy of the documentation in accordance with the actual state of the project
What do we do after
the discovery step
First Task Force in your company is very responsible moment for both you and us, so we will take no rush and do everything right so that you can feel the effect of this without negative effects
Team Lead, Product owner and 1-2 Senior developers will be core of your Task Force. In a few weeks they will be able to work like a ETA mechanism in Patek Philippe or Rolex watches.
At this point you will see backlog tasks melt down by this 3-4 people. In our experience comparing to non Task Force performance it usually takes 7-8 people to do the same at the same time frame.
At the 2-3 month checkpoint we start hiring Junior+ developers. Why are we doing this?
- Firstly to standardize the process of creating developers in your organization. Your Senior and Middle developers will be interested in creating team members that will help them
- Once they have knowledge about your business and the system to proceed in the organisation, they have all the motivation to proceed on this path and bring value to you.
- Junior Developers are the fest fuel for your future
- Junior developers, while being important part of the team, cost much less. Besides, your team will not choose someone who may damage the team, only extremely capable and potential people will get this place.
Absolutely not. If we do - it will screw the process from the very ground. Blurred responsibility in a team, too much calls, broken tasks flow - all this comes in town once you do it.
The only valuable reason to do it is if you need someone specific during a quarter in this Task Force considering their scope of work.
