Project Summary

Redberry provides ongoing IT staff augmentation to Cyclando, a tours and travel platform, supplying Laravel/PHP developers who work closely with the internal team. They created initial documentation and working procedures and scaled the engagement from a senior developer to two junior developers who now work full-time within the client's sprint planning and daily reviews. Communication is handled via Google Meet, GitHub, and Slack, and the client praises the high quality of Redberry's developers.

Key Challenges

Difficulty finding experienced yet affordable developers in Italy.
Need to rapidly develop many product features as a startup.

Project Deliverables

Documentation and working procedures
Senior developer (initial)
Two junior developers (ongoing team extension)
Ongoing feature development using Laravel and PHP

Project Solution

Redberry acted as a flexible team extension, supplying Laravel/PHP developers and scaling the team up or down per the client's needs. The engagement began with documentation and the establishment of working procedures before provisioning the first developer. The vendor initially provided a senior developer and later added junior developers; currently two junior developers work full-time with the client's internal team and participate in sprint planning and daily reviews.

Project Outcome

Developers integrated into the client’s team full-time and participating in sprint planning and daily reviews.
Effective communication channels established using Google Meet, GitHub, and Slack for coordination.
High-quality developers supplied by Redberry, with junior developers performing above expectations.
