Dedicated Nodes

Backlog Burn-Down

For when the backlog is already scoped and prioritized — the gap is capacity, not direction. A Dedicated Node adds senior throughput against exactly that list.

What it is

Some teams don't need more planning — they need more hands against a backlog that's already been triaged. A Dedicated Node embeds directly against that list, working inside your existing ticketing and sprint process instead of asking you to build a parallel one.

How it works

  1. 01
    Start from your actual backlog

    No re-scoping exercise — the node picks up the tickets that are already prioritized and ready to build.

  2. 02
    Work inside your process

    Same sprint cadence, same ticketing system, same review process your in-house team already uses.

  3. 03
    Report against burn-down, not hours

    Progress tracked against what's actually shipped off the backlog, not a timesheet.

  4. 04
    Scale with the backlog

    Capacity flexes up or down as the backlog grows or shrinks, on a monthly cycle — minimum engagement 3 months.

Benefits

  • Senior engineers against your actual priority list from week one
  • No parallel process to maintain — same tickets, same sprints, same reviews
  • Capacity that scales with the backlog instead of a fixed headcount

Frequently asked

Do we need to re-scope our backlog before starting?

No — the node works from what's already prioritized. If the backlog itself needs work first, that's a separate, shorter conversation before the node engages.

What if the backlog shrinks faster than expected?

Capacity scales down on the same monthly cycle it scales up — you're not locked into a fixed headcount regardless of what's left to build.

Ongoing Feature Development

Continuous delivery on an existing product, alongside your own team.

Legacy Maintenance

Keeping a system nobody in-house wants to own running, documented, and gradually improved.

Compliance-Driven Engineering

Engineering changes with a hard external deadline — a regulatory requirement, an audit finding, a vendor migration.

A scope call is a lower-commitment way to find out before anything gets built.
