🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Dedicated Squad

Dedicated Team

A self-contained product squad—PM, designers, engineers, and QA—shipping on your roadmap every sprint.

Get a dedicated cross-functional team that behaves like your own product organisation: predictable velocity, shared tooling, and a named delivery manager accountable for milestones. Ideal when you need ongoing build capacity without building an internal org from scratch.

Why teams choose this model

Hiring a full product team takes 6–12 months and six-figure recruiting costs. Coordinating freelancers across time zones creates integration tax. Agencies often rotate staff mid-project. You need a stable squad that owns outcomes, not tickets.

Best when you have continuous roadmap work (6+ months) and want outcome-oriented capacity without building an internal org overnight.

What you get

How Heloix delivers

Clarity, quality, and accountability—without the overhead of building everything in-house.

Cross-functional by design

Each squad includes backend, frontend, mobile as needed, QA, DevOps support, UI/UX, and a delivery manager. No more “we’re blocked waiting for design.”

Fixed monthly capacity

Agreed story points or scope bands per sprint with transparent burn-down. Capacity planning becomes predictable for finance and product.

Your product rituals

We adopt your sprint length, refinement cadence, release train, and definition of done. Jira, Linear, Azure DevOps—whatever you already run.

Architecture & code quality

Heloix principal engineer reviews major technical decisions, ADRs, and release candidates so quality stays high as velocity ramps.

Security & compliance aware

SOC2-style access controls, secure SDLC, and optional pen-test coordination. We sign BAAs for healthcare engagements when required.

Scale the squad up or down

Add a mobile engineer for a quarter, spin down QA post-launch, or grow to two squads for a major release—structured change windows with no drama.
