Access model
Who can reach which repos, environments, and tools, agreed with your team and set up under your accounts before day one.
Operational setup
The setup that makes our engineers part of your team.
TwinTeams defines access, ceremonies, documentation, reporting, and escalation paths with you before the first sprint. Agreed once, written down, and reviewed as the work matures.
Setup model
Agree the basics before the work starts.
Most embedded-team problems are setup problems: unclear access, undefined escalation, and invisible progress. We remove them before delivery begins, not after they surface.
Working rhythm
Standups, planning, demos, and review loops matched to your timezone overlap and your existing ceremonies.
Delivery visibility
Progress, decisions, and risks written down where your team already looks, not locked in someone's head.
Onboarding flow
The first weeks prove the setup works.
Each step below has an owner and a done state before the team moves to steady delivery.
- 01
Map
Confirm repos, systems, owners, access boundaries, and delivery context. Nothing starts until both sides know exactly what the team can touch.
- 02
Connect
Set up communication channels, working agreements, and the first operating cadence. Day one should feel like joining a team, not starting a procurement process.
- 03
Start
Move from brief to first delivery cycle with documented decisions and review points. Small first deliverables surface setup gaps early, while they're cheap to fix.
- 04
Review
Use early signals to tune communication, scope, access, and delivery rhythm.
Operating practices
How the team works day to day.
This is how the team stays visible to you across locations without adding meeting load.
Context pack
A written brief covering the product, stack, decisions to date, and who owns what, so new engineers ramp on context, not guesswork.
Least-privilege setup
Engineers get the access the work needs and nothing more. Access changes are requested, logged, and reviewed.
Async operating rhythm
Progress and decisions written down first, meetings second. Your morning starts with answers, not questions.
Delivery checkpoints
Pull requests, demos, and review points at a cadence you set, so quality is inspected continuously, not discovered late.
Security hygiene
Named accounts, no shared credentials, clean device practice, and offboarding that actually removes access.
Operating cadence
Make progress, risk, and decisions visible before they become noise.
Three loops keep the work honest. Each one is short, written, and produces something you can act on.
Daily signal
Short written progress, blockers, and decision needs.
Weekly review
Scope, delivery health, risks, and next operating adjustment.
Monthly quality loop
Engineer performance, delivery habits, and stakeholder confidence.
Next step
Next: access and security.
Security is part of the same setup conversation: access owners, permission levels, secrets handling, and what happens when someone leaves the team.
