Working in squads: a unique collaboration

In the rapidly changing world of software development, having the right team is crucial for the success of a project. At Squad Apps, we believe that collaboration is key to delivering high-quality solutions that meet our clients' needs. That's why we introduced the squad concept: an innovative approach that maximizes the power of teamwork and offers our clients the best possible service.

What is the squad concept?

At Squad Apps, we work in small teams called squads, consisting of 4-5 experienced Mendix developers. When clients hire a consultant from Squad Apps, they automatically gain access to the entire squad! A squad consists, for example, of a senior Mendix consultant, a(n) (solution) architect, UX/UI consultant, etc.

Benefits for our clients

Our squad concept has different advantages for our clients.

1. Access to a complete team of experts

By working in squads, our clients can leverage the expertise of the squad consultant but they automatically gain access to the knowledge of other squad members. Our squads share knowledge, discuss topics, challenge each other and combine their knowledge to tackle even the most complex problems for the client. This means our clients benefit from a full team of experts, instead of just one consultant.

2. Improved efficiency and productivity

Because our squads work closely together and share knowledge, they can handle projects faster and more efficiently. When a squad consultant encounters a problem outside of their area of expertise, they can quickly call on other squad members for help. This ensures faster response times and a higher productivity.

3. Combined expertise and creativity

The squad concept allows us to leverage the combined expertise and creativity of our entire team for the success of our clients. Our squads brainstorm together, share best practices and develop innovative solutions for the challenges or our clients. This results in high-quality outcomes that meet or even exceed our clients' expectations.

4. Flexibility and scalability

The squad concept offers clients the flexibility to easily scale up. Since all squad members are aware of the client's background and the specific project requirements, we can quickly allocate additional resources when needed. This enables us to respond quickly to changing needs and deadlines.

5. Ensuring client-specific knowledge

Squad members are automatically informed about a client's situation. This reduces dependence on a single consultant and ensures that client-specific knowledge is maintained within the entire team. This allows the squad to step in easily in specific or urgent cases, ensuring project continuity and enhancing client satisfaction.

6. Improved quality and maintainability

The squad concept fosters a culture of continuous quality improvement. By regularly sharing knowledge and best practices, squads can collaboratively perform code reviews and maintain quality standards. This ensures that the delivered software not only meets current requirements but is also future-proof. Moreover, the collective knowledge of the team makes it easier to perform maintenance and updates, thereby maximizing the software's lifespan and performance.
