Project Summary

99x (formerly Cleverti) provided Java developer staff augmentation to a CX insights SaaS platform, supplying pre-screened candidates who were integrated into the client's scrum teams. The vendor handled candidate screening, onboarding (including a two-week onsite induction), and delivered a short-term data migration effort before dispersing developers across multiple scrums. The team worked remotely and participated fully in scrum ceremonies, improving velocity and deliverable quality.

Key Challenges

Increase overall Java development capacity with experienced developers
Quickly onboard new developers to the client's codebase and working practices
Integrate outsourced resources across multiple scrum teams for scalable staffing

Project Deliverables

Augmented Java development team (one senior, one mid-level)
Pre-screening and candidate selection process
Onsite two-week onboarding and induction to codebase
Completion of a data migration project
Integration of developers into existing scrum teams

Project Solution

99x ran a rigorous selection and augmentation engagement: they pre-screened a pool of Java candidates, supported client-led technical tests and interviews, and agreed team make-up with the client's technical lead. The vendor arranged onboarding that included two weeks onsite for new joiners to undergo an intensive induction to the codebase. Team members initially worked with third-line support and completed a focused data migration project before being integrated across multiple scrum units alongside internal developers and the incumbent augmentation partner.

Project Outcome

Took ownership of and completed a high-profile backlogged project
Demonstrated ability to work self-sufficiently and adapt to the codebase
Improved the velocity and quality of the client's deliverables
Fully engaged in scrum ceremonies with effective remote collaboration
