A four stage ramp model for a new offshore engineering team: what to expect and what to measure in each window, and the failure signals that appear at each boundary.
Product roadmaps slip far more often because teams are already fully allocated than because the plan was wrong. This category covers how dedicated product engineering pods add real capacity: how to size and structure a pod, the 30-60-90-120 day ramp model that makes the first four months predictable, when to build in house versus outsource versus use a dedicated team, and how to use a small proof of concept team to validate a direction before committing core engineering bandwidth.
