What's in the team

§ one unit, five parts

A dedicated software development team from Scrums.com is not a list of CVs. It is a lead, a forward-deployed engineer, two engineers and an agent stack, provisioned together on platform seats and run against your roadmap.

A lead

Owns the sprint cadence, the estimates and the escalation path. Your single point of accountability for the team's output.

A forward-deployed engineer

Works inside your systems on the AI surface: agents, LLM features, integrations. Reserved for AI work and paired with your platform team.

Two engineers

Matched to your stack from the register of 10,000+ pre-vetted engineers. Add seats as the roadmap grows; every role page in the hire graph is a seat you can add.

An agent stack

Code generation, automated QA and review agents from the platform work the backlog alongside the team, under your policies and your approvals.

Platform seats

Every team member and every agent runs on a Scrums.com Enterprise AI Platform seat: your repos, your policies, DORA metrics per engineer, one workspace.

Seven ways to put a team on the platform. Pick by who leads the work and what you are buying: a team, an outcome, an embedded capability or named seats.

How it works

§ provisioned, governed, reviewed
  1. 01

    Provisioned on the platform

    The team is shaped on a 20-minute call and provisioned as seats on the Scrums.com Enterprise AI Platform. A shortlist arrives inside 48 hours.

  2. 02

    Your repos

    Engineers and agents connect to your GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps, your CI and your issue tracker. Nothing leaves your environment.

  3. 03

    Your policies

    Access, secrets, review rules and agent permissions are yours. The platform enforces them for people and agents alike, with an audit trail.

  4. 04

    Agents working the backlog

    QA, code-review and code-generation agents pick up backlog items alongside the engineers. Every agent change goes through the same review gate as a human commit.

  5. 05

    Weekly outcome review

    One review a week on outcomes, not hours: what shipped, DORA metrics per engineer, what the next week commits to. Scale seats monthly.

FAQs

§ dedicated teams & deployment
What is in a dedicated development team?

A lead, a forward-deployed engineer, two engineers and an agent stack, each on a Scrums.com Enterprise AI Platform seat. Add seats as the roadmap grows: QA, DevOps, data, security, an architect, a product manager or a business analyst.

How fast can a team start?

A shortlist arrives inside 48 hours of the scoping call. The team is provisioned as one unit on the platform and ships from week one.

Do I interview and choose the team members?

Scrums.com assembles the team from the shortlist based on your stack, domain and time zone. You review every profile and you can swap a seat before kickoff.

Who manages the team day to day?

You lead the roadmap and the priorities. The team lead runs the cadence; Scrums.com handles matching, replacements, HR and the analytics.

What happens if a team member is not a fit?

Replacement is quick and at no extra cost. The team keeps shipping while the seat is refilled.

Can I choose where the engineers are based?

Yes. Engineers are matched to your time zone, or staggered across zones for full-day coverage, and to your compliance and security requirements.

How is this different from staff augmentation or managed delivery?

Staff augmentation adds named engineers to a team you already run. A dedicated development team is provisioned as one unit with a lead and an agent stack, and you lead it. Managed AI delivery is a squad Scrums.com runs against agreed outcomes.

What does it cost?

Seats are priced monthly by role and seniority on the pricing page. The team is available through the AWS, Google Cloud and Azure marketplaces on your existing cloud commitment.

Not a whole team?

Need one engineer? Hire from the register. Want us to own the outcome? Put a managed delivery squad on it.
