A whole squad, stood up in weeks instead of quarters.
Engineers, QA, design and a technical lead assembled as one team for a defined build. Sprint Labs recruits and employs every member; you set the roadmap and the standard.
What is project delivery squads through Sprint Labs?
A delivery squad is typically three to eight people — usually a lead, two to four engineers, a QA engineer and part-time design — assembled together so they onboard once and ramp as a unit. Billed as one monthly invoice covering all seats.
- Building a new product or a major module from scratch
- Companies without enough in-house engineering to absorb a large build
- Replacing an agency engagement with a team you actually control
- Time-boxed pushes: a migration, a rebuild, a market launch
Included in every engagement.
A team that ramps together
Squads onboard as a unit against the same brief, which removes the sequential ramp cost of hiring five people one at a time.
A technical lead inside the squad
One senior engineer holds the technical standard, runs code review and interfaces with your side — so you're not doing five sets of one-on-ones.
QA built in from day one
Every squad includes test coverage rather than bolting it on at the end, which is where offshore builds usually go wrong.
Scale up or down by seat
Add an engineer for a push, drop back afterwards. Changes are seat-level, not contract-level.
One invoice for the whole squad
Every seat, one monthly invoice, one currency, FX fixed at quote.
Your roadmap, your ownership
You own the product, the repo and the IP. We own the employment.
How it works.
- 01Scope the squad
We translate the build into a seat composition: leads, engineers, QA, design.
- 02Recruit in parallel
All seats are sourced simultaneously so the squad starts together.
- 03You interview the shape
Interview the lead first, then the team they'll work with.
- 04Ramp as one unit
Shared onboarding, shared context, one invoice from day one.
Embedded in your workflow, not sitting on the sidelines.
Your project delivery squads work in your tools, your rituals and your timezone overlap — the same standups, boards and reviews as the rest of your team.
We handle employment, payroll and retention.
Contracts, compliance, local payroll and hardware are ours to run. You direct the work and we keep the people supported, paid on time and staying long term.
What this isn't
This is not a fixed-price, fixed-scope outsourcing contract. We don't sign up to deliver a specification by a date — we staff, employ and manage the people who build it, and you hold the roadmap. If you need contractual delivery accountability, an agency is the right buy, not us.
Commonly hired under Project Delivery Squads.
Questions about offshore project delivery team.
How big is a typical delivery squad?
Three to eight people. The most common shape is a technical lead, two to three engineers, one QA engineer and part-time design. Larger builds are usually better run as two small squads than one large one.
How is this different from outsourcing the project?
An outsourcer sells you an outcome and keeps the team opaque. Sprint Labs sells you the team: named people, employed by us, working in your tools under your direction. You keep the roadmap, the repository and the institutional knowledge — and when the build ends, you can retain the squad as ongoing capacity instead of starting over.
Can I keep the squad after the project ends?
Most customers do. Because these are employed staff rather than a project contract, the transition from build mode to ongoing product work requires no new agreement — you just keep the seats you want and give 60 days' notice on the ones you don't.
Who runs the sprints?
You do, with support. The squad lead runs day-to-day technical coordination and can chair standups and planning, but priorities and acceptance come from your side.
