What’s in a Product Team?
We believe in using high-functioning multi-disciplinary teams to produce beautifully designed, high quality products. Here are some of the types of professionals you’ll find when you work with the T&P team.
Project Managers
Project management is critical in any product build to make sure your work is delivered on-time and on-budget. Our project managers work to translate your requirements for the technical team and make sure the project always stays on course.
Back End Developers
You don’t see their work, but it provides the backbone for all of the products we build. Whether it’s creating API integrations, manipulating data, or working on complex algorithms, our back end developers are there to make sure things just work.
Front End Developers
Great design is only as good as the developer that implements it. Our team includes senior front end developers specializing in React and other modern frameworks who are there to help make the design come to life through code.
Quality Assurance Engineers
Rigorous quality assurance testing ensures that your product is free from critical bugs, accessible to all users, and usable on all required devices and browsers. Our QA engineers conduct thorough testing throughout the development cycle to be sure that your product is ready for release.
Designers
We’re on a mission to bring good design to the legal industry. Our designers have deep expertise in user experience and user interface design. They are your partners in bringing your ideas to life and creating the best experience for your users.
You, the client!
Last but most certainly not least, you are an important part of our cross-functional team. Clients are almost always the expert in the subject matter of the project, and it’s with your guidance that we prioritize project components, interpret user feedback during testing, and eventually arrive at a solution.
