Whether we’re running a full project end-to-end or embedding senior talent alongside your existing squads, our squads are built to integrate seamlessly, work transparently, and deliver real outcomes quickly. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

‍

1. What happens first?

We start by listening. Before any code is written or backlog items are addressed, we focus on understanding your real problem — the business outcomes you’re trying to achieve and the risks we need to mitigate.

Once an agreement is signed, we run a structured internal handoff from sales to delivery to ensure all goals, constraints, and context are captured. If we’re running a full, project-based engagement, this usually takes the form of a formal discovery and setup phase. If we’re joining your team in an extension or staff augmentation model, the process is more streamlined, designed to align quickly with our client so we can start contributing within days.

‍

2. How quickly can you get started?

Speed matters in agriculture, so we work fast. For individual roles in a team extension or augmentation model, onboarding often happens in 7–14 days. For full project teams, kickoff usually takes 4–6 weeks, allowing time for discovery, planning, scoping and assembling the right mix of skills. In both cases, the goal is to start delivering value as quickly as possible without skipping the context we need to succeed.

‍

3. How do we decide what to work on?

We believe the most expensive mistake in product development is building the wrong thing quickly.

That’s why we co-create a plan before development begins — through workshops, user research, and technical feasibility checks — so everyone is clear on what to build, why it matters, and in what order. In project-based work, this becomes a defined scope and phased delivery plan. In ongoing team extension work, prioritization happens continuously alongside your own roadmap.

‍

4. Who’s actually on my team?

A Magoya squad isn’t a random collection of available developers. We hand-pick senior UX, product, engineering, business and agricultural specialists — each with more than three to five years’ experience and selected for technical alignment, domain expertise, and cultural fit.

In a project engagement, you’ll get a dedicated, autonomous build team. In a team extension or augmentation setup, those roles integrate directly into your squads, joining your stand-ups, sprint planning sessions, and retrospectives like any other teammate.

‍

5. How do you handle onboarding?

Onboarding is about connection — to your goals, your vision, your culture, your tech stack,  and your way of working.

We integrate into your tools, time zones, and processes from day one. When relevant, we provide AgTech-specific training to ensure our team is productive in real-world agricultural contexts quickly. The onboarding flow is light and fast for embedded roles; for project teams, it’s paired with deeper discovery and alignment work.

‍

6. Do you use templates or custom work?

Every solution is custom built for purpose. We build it, you own it. 

‍

We leverage proven patterns, reusable components, and code accelerators when they speed delivery — but never at the expense of fit. Your workflows, data structures, and user interfaces are designed around your specific context, not a generic template, whether you’re engaging us for a targeted product build or adding long-term capacity.

‍

7. How will we work day-to-day?

Our squads embed directly into your collaboration rhythms.

That means shared Slack or Teams channels, joint dashboards, monthly reports and transparent boards where you can see progress in real time. Expect regular touchpoints, from daily stand-ups to sprint reviews. In project-based work, stand-ups are mostly internal to the squad, with regular demos for your stakeholders. In an embedded role, we work inside your sprint rituals from day one.

‍

8. What happens if priorities change mid-project?

Agriculture is seasonal and market conditions shift — so adaptability is essential.

For project teams, we adjust scope through a structured change process that protects delivery timelines and quality. For embedded roles, we can pivot sprint-to-sprint in step with your evolving roadmap, without losing momentum.

‍

9. How do you ensure quality?

Quality isn’t a final step — it’s built into every sprint.

‍

We use code reviews, automated testing, and structured QA cycles, and when relevant, we validate in-field to ensure tools work in the environments where they’re actually used. Whether in a project or embedded context, we track adoption metrics and feed insights back into the next cycle.

‍

10. What happens after launch?

For us, launch is a milestone — not the end.

‍

We deliver production-grade work with documentation, training, and support options for scaling or evolving the product. Post-launch, we monitor adoption, measure impact, and identify new opportunities so each release makes the next one stronger. In embedded engagements, this evolution becomes part of your ongoing delivery rhythm; in project work, it’s a defined next phase.

‍

The takeaway

Whether you engage Magoya to run an initiative end-to-end or to expand your team’s capacity, the experience should feel the same:

‍

• You gain senior, multi-disciplinary talent with deep AgTech fluency.
• We embed in your team’s tools, time zones, and culture.
• You get transparent, predictable delivery — with adaptability built in.

‍

The result is a team that works like yours, thinks like product people, and delivers like owners.
