SLAs & pod sizes

Predictable models you can plan around

Choose the pod shape that fits your delivery stage. SLAs are tuned by pod type and scope. We track time, output, and quality metrics to keep delivery honest.

Pod size
Starter
3–4 members
Great for targeted outcomes.
Pod size
Standard
5–7 members
Balanced speed + coverage.
Pod size
Scale
8–12 members
Multiple workstreams in parallel.

Example SLAs

Operationally measurable

SLAs vary by scope, but here’s the standard baseline for managed pods.

Delivery cadence
Weekly demos + sprint plan; monthly releases or quarterly vendor update windows.
Quality gates
Design/config reviews, test readiness, defect trends, UAT coordination, and acceptance criteria.
Governance & reporting
Weekly KPIs, risks/actions, time tracking summaries, and status reports fit for leadership.
ERP reality: change windows and cutovers are where projects go to die. We plan them like adults.
Operating system

The pod operating model (how we keep it sane)

Pods are a managed delivery system with rituals and artifacts that reduce risk—especially in ERP/SaaS where releases are real.

Step 1

Charter

Goals, scope, and acceptance criteria.

Artifact: Pod charter.
Step 2

Backlog

Sprint-ready or release-ready work.

Artifact: Stories/config + DoD.
Step 3

Execution

Build/config, integrate, test.

Artifact: Increment delivered.
Step 4

Gates

Quality, security, UAT readiness.

Artifact: Gate report.
Step 5

Go-live & Hypercare

Cutover + stabilization.

Artifact: Hypercare SLA pack.

FAQs

ERP/SaaS pod questions buyers ask (and should ask)

Pods reduce risk when you need speed—without losing control.

Can you support quarterly vendor updates (Workday/Oracle/ServiceNow etc.)?
Yes—release readiness + impact analysis + regression.
+
We set a predictable release cycle: impact assessment, config changes, test plans, regression execution, approvals, and cutover coordination with change windows.
Do you do integrations and middleware?
Yes—ERP/SaaS is integration-heavy by nature.
+
We support platform-native tools and iPaaS/middleware (e.g., Boomi, MuleSoft, SAP CPI, Azure Integration) with governance, monitoring, and documentation.
How do you handle cutover and hypercare?
With plans, checklists, and war-room cadence.
+
Cutover is a controlled operation: runbooks, roles, rollback strategy, sign-offs, and hypercare SLAs post go-live.
