Our Methodology

HR is often seen as simply a cost center. We believe otherwise. Having a people strategy is fundamental for organizations of all sizes and can be a significant growth contributor when done right. We are pioneers in taking the scrum methodology commonly used for efficient product development and applying it to people management.

How it Works

The people needs for every company differ, depending where they are in the startup lifecycle. That’s where we come in. Our team aligns with founders on the current business objectives, develops and prioritizes talent goals, and breaks them down into one or more two-week sprints. Everything here are essential only, no bullshit.

Two-Week Sprint Implementation

We will provide a HRBP who will formulate and lead a squad to implement the sprint items within the two-week timeframe. During the sprint, we will run daily scrum meetings with related stakeholders to ensure smooth communication and execution.

Review, Retrospective & Next Step

After each sprint, our HRBP will review the deliverables with your team and conduct a reflection on how the sprint items impacted business metrics. Following the exercise, we will advise the team on the next step and you can decide whether to continue with another sprint, regroup, or hand it over to your team.
