What is an extended product team?

An extended product team is a self-contained pod of engineers, a designer, and QA that works alongside your existing team on your roadmap. Codiot staffs and runs the pod; you set the priorities. It's the middle ground between hiring one contractor and standing up a full GCC.

Capabilities

What we build.

Full pod staffing

Engineers, a designer, and QA sourced and matched as a working unit, not individually hired contractors.

Runs on your roadmap

The pod works your priorities and sprint cadence, integrated with your product management, not a separate backlog.

Scales with demand

Add or reduce capacity by roadmap phase, without the overhead of direct hiring and firing.

Your rituals, your tools

Standups, sprint planning, and retros happen in your existing tools and cadence.

Direct hire path available

If you want to bring pod members on staff later, the transition is built into the arrangement.

How it works

How it works with Codiot.

Define the pod

Staff and onboard

The pod is matched, onboarded, and integrated into your existing tools and rituals within weeks.

Report on outcomes

Weekly demos and transparent velocity, so you always know what the pod shipped.

FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly.

What is an extended product team?

It's a self-contained pod of engineers, a designer, and QA that works inside your existing roadmap and rituals, rather than delivering separately as an external project team.

How is this different from forward deployed engineers?

FDEs are typically one or two engineers embedded directly in your team. An extended product team is a fuller pod that runs semi-independently against your priorities, useful when you need to scale throughput, not just add hands.

How much does an extended team cost?

Pricing depends on pod size and seniority mix, built from our standard $15-90/hr seniority bands. We'll scope exact numbers against your roadmap.

How quickly can a pod start?

Most pods are staffed and onboarded within 2-4 weeks of a confirmed scope.

Can pod size change over time?

Yes, that flexibility is the point. Pods scale up for a launch push and down once the roadmap settles, without the overhead of hiring cycles.
