Expert Engineering Meets Modern Process
Embedded teams, custom consulting, and digital product
At Stride, we view Agile as a mindset, a tool kit. We seek first to understand what success looks like and what keeps you up at night. Then, we embed and work alongside you to create a customized solution that results in the right approach for your team.
Whether your current technology team is 1 or 1,000, Striders co-locate with you, at your office. We embrace and respect your existing culture. By embedding with you, we see everything that you see, work side by side at the same desks, drink the same coffee. We fully immerse ourselves in your culture, and by doing so, we are 10x more valuable than if we missed out on all of the non-coding conversation and decision-making that happens every day.
Teamwork: An Ongoing Partnership
Our seasoned Agile developer and product consultants hit the ground running and immerse themselves within your team. We’ll adapt quickly and get you the results you need even quicker. You’ll be wondering why you didn’t find us sooner.
Regardless of your immediate need, our intention remains the same – help you be your best, forever. We are here to help your business improve through software. We help you embrace change in a way that actually becomes a competitive advantage. Why? We believe that the companies that can best leverage the process of building software are the ones that will succeed in the next decade.
