Managed Delivery Teams

A team that runs itself — and just ships.

Most outsourced teams need babysitting you don't have time for. We deploy complete cross-functional squads — engineers, QA, design, led by a Scrum Master — that own delivery and ship features without you managing the details.

Autonomy with accountability

Delivery you can plan around, without managing it

A managed team brings its own delivery leadership — so you get predictable output and full visibility without the standup-running tax.

Owns its own velocity

A Scrum Master runs planning, standups, and retros so the squad commits to a sprint and hits it — you don't have to chase status.

Cross-functional by default

Engineers, QA automation, and design in one squad means features ship complete, not handed across silos with gaps in between.

Consistent quality, not heroics

Embedded QA and shared standards keep defect leakage low and code quality even — regardless of who's on the ticket.

Aligned, not absent

Daily standups and bi-weekly reviews keep you fully visible into priorities and progress without managing the details.

From kickoff to cadence

How a managed team takes the wheel

You set the destination; the squad drives. Four steps to a team that owns its own delivery rhythm.

  1. 1

    Align on the product

    We map your vision, near-term goals, and initial backlog, then set the team structure and ways of working.

  2. 2

    Stand up the ceremonies

    Sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retros go live with a shared toolchain so cadence starts immediately.

  3. 3

    Ship in sprints

    The squad delivers working increments every sprint, with velocity tracking and demos you can plan around.

  4. 4

    Audit & improve

    Retrospectives and performance reviews tighten the loop sprint over sprint, so the team gets faster and more reliable.

Tideline: a founder who got 11 hours a week back

A seed-stage SaaS founder was the de-facto delivery manager for a contractor team and drowning in standups. We replaced the chaos with one self-running managed squad.

Scrum Master owns delivery

I'd become the project manager for a team I was paying to manage itself. The managed squad runs its own sprints now — I show up to the demo, not the standup. I got my week back.

Straight answers

Managed delivery team questions

What is a managed delivery team?

A managed delivery team is a complete cross-functional squad — engineers, QA, designers, and a Scrum Master — that owns its own execution. You set product priorities; the team plans sprints, runs ceremonies, and ships, without you managing the day-to-day.

How is a managed team different from staff augmentation?

Augmented developers work under your management. A managed team brings its own delivery management (a Scrum Master) and owns velocity, ceremonies, and quality, so you spend time on product direction instead of running standups.

How do you keep our teams aligned?

Shared Slack channels, daily standups, and bi-weekly sprint reviews keep both sides aligned on priorities and status. Your product owner owns the backlog; our Scrum Master owns execution and predictability.

Who owns product priorities and the backlog?

You do. Your product owner sets the vision and prioritizes the backlog. Our Scrum Master turns that into sprint commitments, manages velocity, and keeps delivery predictable.

Can we replace or scale team members?

Yes. We maintain a vetted talent pool and handle scaling or transitions transparently at sprint boundaries, without disrupting your delivery schedule.
