Our phased approach includes detailed documentation, knowledge transfer, and leadership alignment, allowing your team to smoothly take over ownership while maintaining business continuity.
How Our BOT Model Works?
WalkingTree’s BOT model follows a structured three-phase approach—Build, Operate, and Transfer—to help enterprises scale engineering teams with minimal risk and maximum efficiency.
Build Phase
Setting up your offshore team with a strong foundation.
We conduct a risk assessment to identify hiring, security, and process challenges upfront. NDAs, IP agreements, and SOC2/GDPR compliance audits are completed before development begins.
A structured framework defining communication norms, reporting, decision-making, escalation paths, and adaptability strategies. Roles and responsibilities for both WalkingTree and the client are clearly established.
Cloud, VPN, SSO access, DevSecOps pipelines, and monitoring tools are pre-configured to ensure seamless onboarding and prevent project slowdowns.
Instead of immediate full-scale hiring, we deploy a small, high-impact team to validate core technologies, align processes, and refine scope through collaborative workshops with the client.
Using EngazeWell AI, we match engineers based on past performance, cultural fit, and technical expertise, ensuring faster ramp-up and optimal team composition.
Background checks are conducted for all hires, while senior leadership candidates undergo additional reference checks for reliability and suitability.
Operate Phase
Optimizing team efficiency, governance, and performance.
WalkingTree follows a flexible staffing model that scales teams based on real-time project demands, reducing costs while ensuring efficiency.
Engineers follow AI-powered best practices in coding, testing, and reviews, with real-time dashboards tracking code quality, sprint velocity, defect rates, and on-time delivery. Processes evolve based on data-driven insights and client feedback.
Engineers work under WalkingTree’s supervision, following Agile methodologies for maximum efficiency and they have access to the technical knowledge of the entire team.
WalkingTree provides live access to project management tools or even works within client’s project management tools to ensure visibility across the entire phases of development and implementation.
We ensure continuous and relevant documentation, back up plan and structured knowledge transfer to ensure product/process knowledge stays within the team and they are followed effectively. We also work closely with the client leadership team and their Learning & Development team to conduct regular training and knowledge sharing sessions to ensure that they are aligned with the overall client’s needs.
Transfer Phase
Seamless transition of full ownership with zero disruptions.
We provide a step-by-step knowledge transfer roadmap, including Comprehensive Documentation & Playbooks (e.g. Process guides, architectural decisions, DevOps workflows, and coding standards), Hands-on Training & Shadowing (Engineers gradually shift responsibility to client leadership over 30-90 days) and centralized AI-indexed documentation (using Empower kind of portal) for long-term accessibility.
Provide client leadership training to ensure smooth management transition and decision-making.
Clients receive complete ownership of teams, operations, and intellectual property.
WalkingTree co-manages operations for 60-90 days post-handover to mitigate transition risks.
WalkingTree remains available for additional scaling, advisory support, or process fine-tuning.
We train client leaders on how to manage remote/hybrid teams effectively for an agile project execution, how to retain engineers, and how to maintain best practices.
