Engagement with Code Poets:

Analyzing and Strategizing: Code Poets began the collaboration with a comprehensive analysis of L7 Informatics' existing development processes. Recognizing the need for structure, we proposed strategic changes for improvement.

Retro Cooperation Meetings: Introducing regular retro cooperation sessions, these meetings served as a platform for strengthening relationships, discussing challenges, and brainstorming mutually beneficial solutions. They played a vital role in aligning our teams and ensuring seamless information flow.

Feedback Mechanism and Communication Enhancement: We implemented a robust feedback system to foster open and consistent communication. This initiative addressed discomfort arising from unclear expectations and provided a forum for addressing unforeseen edge cases in application development.

Sprint-Based Development Implementation: Led by Andrzej Drabarek, our team adopted Sprint-Based Development from L7|ESP version 3.1. This approach, featuring 2-week sprints and daily meetings, streamlined development and significantly reduced problem-solving time and stress.

Transition to Full Scrum-Based Development: Building on the success of sprint-based development, L7 Informatics embraced Full Scrum-Based Development. This shift introduced POD teams with structured roles, leading to improved team organization, collaboration, and workflow efficiency.


At Code Poets, we excel in life science staff augmentation by addressing unique challenges. Our team's expertise in software development and biology/chemistry ensures seamless integration and tailored solutions. Our commitment is evident in refining L7 Informatics' workflow, showcasing our dedication to resolving current challenges and establishing sustainable development practices for future growth.

Results:
- A remarkable enhancement in project organization and execution efficiency.
- A significant reduction in communication barriers and problem resolution time.
- Increased team morale and unity, with a clear understanding of roles and expectations.
- Improved product evolution, with the L7|ESP platform showing marked improvements in functionality and user experience.


Results of Code Poets engagement into project's challenges

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
As Senior Director of Engineering at L7 Informatics, a fast-growing life sciences enterprise software company, I am responsible for providing the engineering and engineering support teams with everything they need to keep up a furious momentum, including additional staffing resources.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Code Poets?
Planned expansion and maturity of our software suite required fast expansion of our team, and because we prefer to pepper our team with resources that have experience in our customers areas of operation (biotech, manufacturing, etc.) often finding ideal resources is a huge challenge.

What were your goals for this project?
This is very much a staff augmentation engagement rather than a 'project'. Our goals were to find talented resources that could work well with our US-based staff. We were open to a workable timezone delta even with its potential challenges and merits.

SOLUTION
How did you select Code Poets?
CodePoets and our CEO crossed paths in early 2020, and with our strong preference for resources with experience in our customers' areas of operation (biotech, life science, manufacturing, etc.). CodePoets' focus on tech and science sounded like a good fit, so we kept them in mind in case we had a need for staff augmentation. Mid-year we developed that need so we gave them a ring.

Describe the project in detail.
Again, this isn't a project but staff augmentation in support of a product suite and implementations with many wide scopes.

What was the team composition?
We started with a couple of very strong resources who hit the ground running and produced solid results quickly with minimal training. They have been stellar at taking assignments and parsing them, asking excellent questions, and producing excellent work. We've since expanded our team at CodePoets and expect to continue doing so.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
I would assert that the fact that we've continued to expand our team with CodePoets on a pretty regular cadence since starting with them is pretty good evidence of progress and success.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Active communications and jira-centric workflow between L7 and the CodePoets resources can only be as effective as L7 enables, and the CodePoets resources have been very proactive in their communications and very understanding of our need for them to work relatively independently at times.

What did you find most impressive about this company?
CodePoets had and has found excellent and appropriate resources for us, all of whom have been talented, reliable, responsive, and nimble.

Are there any areas for improvement?
To date I have no complaints.

Working for L7 gave me a lot of room for development. I performed on many levels, such as backend and test writing. At the same time, I had a lot of tasks involving implementing various external libraries.

We are responsible for its overall development and maintenance, such as:
- Custom application for creating, following, and studying all phases of clinical operations.
- Similar to the Jupyter Notebooks feature, notebooks utilize mixing blocks of code and documentation for obtaining, scrutinizing, and presenting results.
- Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) used for managing laboratory experiments at all stages.
