Building a core offering & developing delivery capability
Alex and Safe got talking at one of Manchester's tech meetups. It quickly became apparent that 60innovations could help ArcticShores scaleup and deliver their next major product version. The existing team at ArcticShores, was and still is a highly skilled technical team, but Alex identified things that could be improved upon, from both a technical and delivery management perspective by working with 60innovations, whilst chatting to Safe.
Alex fulfilled a principal engineer role guiding the head of engineering and the dev team for 12 months to get the technical delivery over the line in time for the VC’s and clients alike. Ian led from a project delivery perspective working with the wider business and product team to make sure what the engineering team was writing was what the business needed. 60Innovations also assisted extensively with the recruitment of additional team members, allowing a seamless handover of our role to new team members in ArcticShores.
The iterations of the product were delivered as per sprint plans, and the overall delivery plan. The quality of the speaks for itself, it is still in use today, and the team maintaining and evolving the product are able to do so form a quality, easy to change code base. We felt we made a real difference to Arctishores ability to deliver this new product version, and left a great legacy behind us both technically & from a delivery perspective.
We caught up with Safe & Sam to find out what they thought about 60i ...
We've been working with 60i for over nine months now.
We brought in 60i to help with the development of a high profile software product for which they were able to provide expertise, help organise, and genuinely accelerate
You should consider using 60i for any new project where the end goal and project plan are yet to be fully defined, or perhaps an existing project needs rescuing and re-planning. 60i will be able to provide a broad base of expertise from project initiation to requirements definition to technical implementation to see the project through
Without hesitation!
Not only was the 60i team able to practically help us meet our goals, but they brought with them a shared sense of pride in what we were building, great collaboration, and a great work ethic too.
Ongoing - 9 Months+
60i helped us to create and deliver a new greenfield product, along with supporting best practices in terms of Agile Delivery and Technical Architecture.
Their extensive knowledge and skill-set means that you could approach them with any technical or operational transformation project and gain value.
Yes, without a second thought.
Both Alex and Ian took the time to embed themselves within our organisation in a way that made them a trusted part of the team and not just external consultants. As well as both technically incredibly proficient in their areas, their willingness and ability to engage in this truly committed manner ensured that we gained a maximum return, not just from the work produced but the culture it helped to instill in the teams they operated with
