Plan
Sprint or PI planning that balances capacity with demand, surfaces cross-team dependencies early and sets commitments teams can keep.
You receive: Release plan, dependency board, risk log
- 04
Build & test
Cross-functional teams deliver tested, working increments every sprint, with peer review, automated pipelines and QA built in, not bolted on.

Tools our teams work in
Common questions
Do you only work in Agile? +
No. We fit the method to the work and your governance. Many federal programs run a hybrid: Agile delivery inside teams, with the milestone reporting and documentation oversight requires.
How quickly can a team start? +
Augmentation roles can typically start within weeks. Managed teams begin with a short discovery and sprint-zero to set up the backlog, tools and working agreements.
How do we know the work is on track? +
You get dashboards and weekly checkpoints showing velocity, predictability, defects and risks, plus a demo of working software at the end of every sprint.
Can you support the system after it goes live? +
Yes. We provide ITIL-aligned operations and support, including incident, problem and change management, platform administration and enhancements.
Can you work as a subcontractor on our bid? +
Yes. We regularly team with prime contractors, support proposal and staffing plans, and bring federal past performance since 1998.
