Who Runs The Team
Lead Dev is your autonomous team manager.
Your Codespeed Lead Dev keeps work moving around the clock. They break down the objective, assign the right specialists, and return work with the decisions your team needs to stay focused on shipping value.
Breaks down the objective
Discuss the objectives for the work with Lead Dev, who then plans the work to carry the intent, the acceptance requirements, and the review path before a specialist writes a line.
Assigns the right specialist for the job
Each aspect of the overall objective is handled by the specialist who knows best. Autonomy, security and quality stay enforced across the team through clear governance.
Returns work with the decisions
Work comes back checked against the standards of the objective's requirements, the collective taste of your team stored in Knowledge and Quality standards, all checked by Lead Dev to ensure what you end up reviewing is actually a finished product.
Always-On Workforce
