How Our QA Engineers Have Been Expanding A real estate company's team for 13 Years
A lead generation platform in the real estate industry, needed staff augmentation to assist with custom software development and database optimization. We met the their criteria of superior software development expertise, value for money, cultural compatibility, and shared values.
To meet the project goals, Rapid Accord augmented their team by sourcing fifteen specialists, including software developers, quality assurance engineers, technical design specialists, UI/UX designers, and machine learning/artificial intelligence experts.
Together we:
- Developed an application for processing real estate data based on filters and geo shapes using two large databases.
- Incorporated a machine learning and artificial intelligence extension to forecast sales in the US real estate market.
- Transitioned from monolith architecture to a cloud-based infrastructure and set up a component-based development process.
- Optimized database queries to efficiently handle data from databases with 160 and 250 million records.
Stages in our Dedicated Team Cooperation Process
We tailor each step of our cooperation process to achieve 100% alignment with your business goals. From our end, we are committed to managing the team, delivering consistent results, and increasing productivity. From your end, we expect regular feedback after each sprint and consistent communication about critical decisions and planned scope changes.
01. Initiation and Conception
The first step is to discover your project requirements and business context. For that, we perform a workshop or a discovery phase. Whenever possible, we try to visit our customers in person so that we can communicate project vision and goals more efficiently. For your peace of mind, we always suggest signing an NDA.
0102. Planning
With a clear understanding of your project vision, we suggest the project scope, prepare a work breakdown structure, and provide rough estimations of each activity. Next, we define the ideal team structure, the necessary skillsets, and the preferred tech stack. Last but not least, our business analysts identify potential risks and outline a plan for mitigating them.
0203. Launch and Execution
To ensure process transparency, we establish clear definitions of done, compose a detailed backlog, and identify communication plan. UX designers, technical leads, and business analysts will first plan UX and set up infrastructure and processes. Then, the team proceeds to engineering, testing, and deploying.
0304. Monitoring and Control
The development process is in full swing! As we progress through the backlog, we continuously review code and perform quality control. You receive results or suggestions during regular demo sessions. If any changes need to be made, we adhere to a strict change management procedure.
0405. Project Closure (or Renewal)
All good things come to an end. With the project closing, you will receive a clear list of deliverables, project documentation, training materials, and user manuals. Our team will provide suggestions on how to optimize your product and make it more attractive to users.
05How Our IT Staffing Services Stand Out
01
High Performance
Get more than a list of candidates. Every specialist will navigate onboarding, integrate into your team, and work well at every project stage. Our effective performance management helps us keep 98% CSAT year after year.
02
Long-term Focus
Our average staff augmentation contract lasts 9 years. Businesses trust us to quickly expand their teams with extra talent. We can take over project management and transition you to a managed team or fixed-cost project model.
03
High Employee Retention
We foster a supportive work environment. Numbers tell the story: in 2023, we achieved a 49% eNPS score. Moreover, 25% of our people stay with us for 5-10 years. About 45% have been with Rapid Accord for 2-5 years.
04
Access to Business Expertise
We have MBA-trained experts with decades of experience in managing companies. Use their advice to enhance your business operations, align your IT functions with strategic goals, and handle complex change management.
05
Knowledge Transfer & Upskilling
Upskill your in-house staff. Along with our IT staffing services, we can transfer tech knowledge to your teams. We can explain how to implement tech innovations, set up productive workflows, and introduce industry best practices.
Additional Roles in Dedicated Teams Model
Dedicated developers, UI/UX designers, QA engineers, and data analysts play a vital role in the project’s success. But they are not the only ones. To ensure our dedicated software development team aligns with your business goals and maximizes productivity, we rely on these specialists:
Project Manager
The role of a project manager (PM) is to guide the dedicated software development team towards the successful accomplishment of project goals. PMs are responsible for project setup, planning, resource allocation, backlog management, change request management, performance monitoring, and status reporting.
Proxy Product Owner
Proxy product owner (PO) represents the business interests, shapes the product vision, and explains the project deliverables to the dedicated development team. We include proxy PO in the project for backlog management, sprint planning, estimation of team velocity, and discovery of inconsistencies in SDLC.
Business Analyst
Analyzing product vision and market needs, business analysts (BA) prepare project requirements and translate them into actionable tasks for the dedicated development team. BA is responsible for business case formalization, management of functional and non-functional requirements, feasibility studies, risk assessments, competitor analysis, and acceptance criteria definition.
Tech Lead
The tech lead facilitates the architectural and design direction of the dedicated development team. Typically, the tech lead takes care of product architecture, technologies used in the product, code quality, and system health.
