Embedded pod rescues a stalled migration for a Canadian CPA network
An embedded engineering pod took over a stalled internal platform migration, shipped it, and now owns the roadmap as an extension of the in-house team.
01The challenge
An internal migration had stalled for over a year. Knowledge was scattered and the in-house team lacked the senior capacity to finish it.
02What we did
- 01Mapped the existing system topology before touching anything.
- 02Prototyped the riskiest migration path first to de-risk feasibility.
- 03Embedded a senior pod inside the client's tools, standups, and sprint cycle.
- 04Shipped incrementally with tests and documentation, then took roadmap ownership.
