The challenge
A new digital business, with nothing in place.
A multibillion dollar public manufacturer set out to launch its first digital consumer product. It had no product engineering team, no technical architecture, no delivery process and no experience taking software to market.
- No engineering team, and no engineering leader
- No architecture, tooling or environments
- No program structure to take an idea to launch
Our approach
Program, architecture and team, built together.
BroadPoint led the work from concept to launch, building the client’s engineering capability as the product took shape.
- Stood up the program: structure, governance, cadence and ways of working from day one
- Envisioned the technical architecture and built the proofs of concept that shaped the product
- Set up the engineering and program infrastructure the team would run on
- Hired the complete engineering team as the product grew, including the client’s engineering leader
- Added offshore capacity as demand grew
- Supported product management, and tightly managed the client’s first ever user acceptance testing through to MVP launch
The impact
A launched product, and a team the client owns.
- Proof of concept to MVP launch in 10 months
- A complete product engineering team, led by an engineering leader BroadPoint hired
- The whole team transitioned to the client after two years
- Engineering and delivery practices the team carried with it
How we staffed it
Four engagement models, one team.
- Team transition. BroadPoint built and ran the team, then moved it to the client
- Contract to hire. Engineers joined through BroadPoint and converted to client employees
- BroadPoint consultants offshore. Added capacity as the product scaled
- Direct hire. BroadPoint recruited the client’s engineering leader
