Hospital management system for a clinic network

The company, an established company in HealthTech headquartered in Spain, needed to solve this challenge: “hospital management system for a clinic network”. The main obstacle was finding profiles with real experience in the business domain, not just generic knowledge of the stack, and their own selection processes dragged on for weeks without results. On top of this, there were methodological problems in team and project management: inconsistent agile ceremonies, poor visibility into dependencies, and a delivery cadence that was hard to predict. The competitive window was short: a competitor with a similar product was already gaining market share.

Squad Challenge built 6 challenges, one per position, based on the project's real business case, analyzing an average of 5 candidates per position (30 in total) and delivering the final shortlist in 7 days. Since the client also raised methodological problems in team and project management, Squadmakers recommended bringing in an additional Agile Coach for the squad.

Squad Hiring managed, within 24h, the AOR-based hiring of the candidates validated through Squad Challenge, handling contract generation adapted to each developer's country of origin, data validation, and the onboarding process.An Enabling Team with specialists in QA joined temporarily for 5 months to speed up delivery and transfer best practices. The methodology the Enabling Team applied was, as always, an adaptation of Agile to the client's type of organization, structured into two tracks —Discovery and Delivery— given the level of agile principles already established in the organization. Since the project also required a maintenance and support team, a specific methodology was also developed for that team, independent from the development squad's.

The squad brought on 7 profiles (backend developer, ML engineer, Squad Lead, mobile developer, QA engineer, frontend developer, Agile Coach) working on a stack of Java (Spring Boot), React, MongoDB, PostgreSQL (HL7/FHIR), GitLab, GCP, Flutter. The company already had its own technical team, into which the professionals proposed by Squadmakers integrated directly —they become part of the client's team, not Squadmakers'—, respecting existing processes and priorities. The engagement ran for 5 months in total.
