Challenge
A rapidly growing healthtech platform was outpacing its internal engineering capacity. Feature delivery was slipping, and the team had no QA automation discipline to support the release cadence their customers expected. They needed people on keyboards in days, not months.
Solution
We deployed a senior front-end and back-end squad with embedded project management and QA. The team ramped up inside the client's sprint cadence in one week, took ownership of feature workstreams, and stood up an automation testing framework alongside the build.
Outcome
Sprint delivery velocity grew from 38 to 75 story points — a ~2× increase — within three months. Feature roadmap commitments started landing ahead of schedule rather than behind it. The QA automation framework outlived the engagement and is still in use.
Challenge
The client operated a fast-growing patient-care-transition platform. Engineering capacity hadn’t kept pace with the customer commitments the business had made — and the gap between what was on the roadmap and what was actually shipping was widening every sprint. They also had no automated test coverage backing their release cadence, which meant every deploy carried more risk than the team was comfortable with.
Solution
We deployed a senior squad — front-end and back-end engineers, an embedded project manager, and a QA engineer — into the client’s existing sprint cadence. The team was contributing PRs by the end of the first week.
In parallel, our QA engineer stood up an automation testing framework that the client’s existing engineers could extend. This wasn’t a parallel deliverable; it was tied directly to the feature work the squad was already shipping.
Outcome
Sprint velocity grew from 38 to 75 story points within three months — roughly a 2× improvement. Roadmap commitments started landing ahead of schedule rather than slipping behind. The QA automation framework outlived our engagement and is still in use as the backbone of the client’s release pipeline.
