Pods, squads and senior specialists

Add senior capacity without creating a parallel team or increasing management overhead.

When it makes sense

There is an important priority, but not enough seniority or capacity to lead a workstream, fill a skill gap or take on a complete delivery.

GVolo's approach

GVolo organizes specialists, pods or squads around a clear mission, with senior expertise, defined decision paths, acceptance criteria, useful documentation and a transition plan.

Pods and specialists: common questions

What is the difference between a specialist, a pod and a squad?

A specialist covers one specific skill. A pod brings together a few skills for one mission. A squad takes on a broader, ongoing workstream. The choice depends on the goal, the level of autonomy and the interfaces required.

Does the team work alongside our in-house team?

Yes. Integration, decisions, ceremonies, access, responsibilities and acceptance criteria are defined to avoid a parallel team without context.

Is there a minimum contract term?

The format and duration depend on the mission and the capacity required. GVolo does not publish a standard term before assessing the context.
