Staff augmentation enables you to grow your team without hiring full-time help.
It also helps you fill multiple skill sets with a group of experts.
O8’s client-accessible capacity expansion gives you as much or as little access to our team as desired.
Project management personnel are available with a single point of contact.
Our staff offers supervision, accountability, and coverage.
Plus, you get access to previously vetted talent.
These multiple areas of specialization go far beyond any individual you could hire internally.
A mentored sprint model is ideal when learning platforms like Drupal or WordPress.
We don’t take the place of self-study from instructional sites, such as Drupal.org or buildamodule.com.
Instead, we guide your study with daily Scrum-style meetings, bi-weekly sprint planning and review meetings, and task-based support requests.
We believe the best technical learning happens when everyone works toward a common goal.

Training and Mentorship for Technical Teams
Learning by Doing: Mentored Sprints
We believe the best technical learning happens when everyone is actively working in a team towards a common goal, learning by doing, producing tangible results and in-house knowledge of what is being built. When learning a platform like Drupal or WordPress, and especially when considering the build of a platform of which you want to take ownership in-house, a mentored sprint model is ideal.
In this model, we do not attempt to take the place of self-study from the multitude of information online at Drupal.org and instructional sites such as buildamodule.com, but rather guide that study by daily Scrum-style meetings, bi-weekly sprint planning and review meetings, and task-based support requests.
This mentored sprint model is used at the annual Drupal conference, which many of our team members have attended and found very useful. We also use it with our clients, who often have an in-house developer who is not at all or less familiar with Drupal, needs best practice advice, guidance, support, and the ability to delegate.
We also regularly put together training material and demos for non-technical clients who just want to know how best to use their website.
