Project Solution

FIRST FACTORY supplied remote development resources who integrated into the client's scrum and development teams and worked alongside internal staff as if they were employees.

Over time the vendor provided multiple mid-level developers (three concurrently at present, about six in total across the engagement) to contribute to ongoing development work.

Seamless integration maintained productivity when onshore resources left
