Engineering and deliveryWorking with an engineering partner: a guide for technology leaders
Working with an engineering partner means choosing one of four engagement models, agreeing scope before work starts, and holding the partner to the same delivery discipline you would expect from your own team: short cycles, code review, a staging environment and a rollback plan. The four models are resource augmentation, forward deployed engineers, project delivery and managed services. At FetchSky an engagement starts with a conversation, then scoping, a proposal and a start date, usually within a few weeks. The partner that behaves best is one that runs its own products, because it lives with the consequences of its engineering choices.
