Project Summary

Diatom Enterprises augmented an accounting-software company's development team by supplying engineers skilled in Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, and JavaScript. The contractors integrated into the client's workflows, contributed to sprint point attainment and test coverage, and communicated via Slack, Jira, and Zoom despite timezone differences. The client reported the contractors performed comparably to in-house developers.

Key Challenges

  • Need to quickly supplement the existing development team with quality developers.
  • Requirement for engineers skilled in Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, and JavaScript.

Project Deliverables

  • Three software engineers integrated with the in-house team
  • Contributions to Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, and JavaScript codebase
  • Candidate resumes and interviews for selection

Project Solution

Diatom supplied candidate resumes, allowed the client to interview and select engineers, and embedded three engineers alongside the in-house team. The contractors worked primarily on the client's Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, and JavaScript codebase and participated in daily standups and meetings via Slack, Jira, and Zoom.

Project Outcome

  • Performed well against the in-house team, measured by sprint point attainment.
  • Strong test coverage improvements.
  • Fully integrated into client workflows and participated in standups via Slack, Jira, and Zoom.
