Project Summary

Vega IT Sourcing provides development resources to a social housing software company, embedding engineers into the client's scrum teams. They support rebuilding the frontend and backend using React, GraphQL and related technologies, and contribute expertise in React Native, .NET and Umbraco. The client praises Vega's communication, English proficiency, knowledge transfer and flexibility to scale resources up or down.

Key Challenges

Previous near-shore partners became too expensive for the perceived quality
Need for a vendor that could provide experienced, creative developers who integrate with existing scrum teams

Project Deliverables

Backend rebuild
Frontend rebuild (React / React Native)
GraphQL API development
Dedicated developer resources integrated into client's scrum teams

Project Solution

Vega IT Sourcing supplied a team of six developers who joined the client's scrum teams to rebuild both backend and frontend using React, GraphQL and related technologies. Their engineers work side-by-side with internal teams (daily standups, retrospectives, backlog grooming) and offer creative input on technical choices. The engagement is flexible and resource-based (no vendor-side project management), and the vendor has been engaged since February 2019.

Project Outcome

Progress measured in story points under agile scrum methodology
Scrum teams satisfied with Vega's contributions, especially on React Native and Umbraco
Knowledge transfer and expertise from Vega improved the client's capabilities
Flexible contract with 24-hour cancellation enabled easy up- and downscaling
