MULTI-TEAM CAPABILITY CENTRE

Multi-team engineering capability centres

Run several product squads on a shared platform with common QA, DevOps and governance. We operate the multi-team capability centre; you retain each product roadmap, priorities and IP.

WHO IT IS FOR

For teams with more than one product line to move at once.

For product portfolios that need coordination across squads.

  • One pod is no longer enough. You have several roadmaps that need dedicated squads running in parallel.
  • You want those squads to share a platform, QA, and DevOps, so you are not rebuilding the same foundations per team.
  • You need one governance layer across all of them: consistent standards, security, and reporting, not per-pod improvisation.
  • You want the reach of your own delivery centre, but you want someone else to run the operations while you set direction.
HOW WE RUN IT

We run all of it, the pods, the platform, and the governance.

A centre is more than a stack of pods. It is a shared foundation and a governance layer that keep every team consistent. We operate the whole thing as one capability. You keep the direction and the IP across all of it.

WE RUN

The pods

We hire, manage, and retain every squad, and report delivery per product line and across the centre.

WE RUN

The shared platform

Shared platform, QA, and DevOps beneath the pods, so teams ship on common rails instead of rebuilding foundations.

WE RUN

The governance layer

One layer for standards, security, access, and reporting across every team, applied consistently, not per pod.

YOU DO

Set direction, keep the IP

You own the roadmap and priorities for every product line, and everything the centre builds is yours. We run it on an ongoing basis, and never take it from you.

If one squad is all you need today, start with a Dedicated Delivery Pod and grow into this. If you need us to operate whole business functions as well as coordinated product squads, explore a Full Offshore Function. The operating model stays the same.

WHAT WE RUN

Multiple squads, one platform, under one governance layer.

A representative centre looks like this. The shape scales with the number of product lines you run.

Delivery pods
2 to 6+
One dedicated squad per product line, each with its own delivery lead and roadmap.
Shared platform
1 foundation
Common services, environments, and tooling every pod builds on. See Cloud and Platform Engineering.
Shared QA and DevOps
1 function
Test automation, CI/CD, and release engineering across all squads.
Governance layer
1 over the top
Standards, security, access, and centre-wide reporting to your leadership.

The pods deliver across our capability areas, from Enterprise AI Services to Data and Analytics, staffed to each product line's roadmap.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

What changes in day-to-day delivery.

Agree the baseline and success measures at the start, then review progress through the delivery cycle.

Product roadmaps stay coordinated

Review dependencies and release plans across squads so one team can plan around the work of another.

Teams reuse engineering foundations

Share platform services, delivery tooling and quality practices. Track adoption and the work each team no longer needs to repeat.

Leadership sees the whole centre

Consolidate delivery, quality and staffing reports while keeping accountability visible for each product line.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What leaders ask us first.

Separate pods each carry their own platform, QA, and governance. A centre puts one shared foundation beneath every squad and a single governance layer over the top, so teams stay consistent and you get one report instead of several. We run the whole thing as one capability.

We operate the governance layer, standards, security, access, and reporting, but it is applied to your requirements and everything it produces is visible to you. Direction and IP stay yours across every product line.

No. We run it on an ongoing basis for as long as you want us to. This is an ongoing managed service, with transition arrangements defined in the agreed contract. You keep the roadmap, the priorities, and the IP across the whole centre while we keep it running.

RUN A CENTRE WITHOUT BUILDING ONE

Connect your product teams.

Several squads, a shared platform, a single governance layer. We run all of it. You keep the roadmap and the IP.
