Team Enablement

Successful projects aren't built by seasoned veterans alone—they're built by teams that grow their capabilities while delivering results. The challenge is developing your team's MarkLogic expertise at the pace your project demands, ensuring they become self-sufficient without sacrificing delivery quality or timelines.

# Beyond Traditional Training

Team enablement differs from formal training. It's not about classroom instruction or generic examples—it's about building real-world competency through hands-on project work, continuous coaching, and strategic skill development aligned with your specific technology stack and business requirements.

# The Growth Challenge

Most projects aren't staffed entirely with MarkLogic experts. This is normal and acceptable—but it requires the right approach to development. Team members need to:

• Build foundational knowledge while delivering production code
• Learn best practices without extensive trial and error
• Develop confidence in their decisions and implementations
• Grow their expertise in parallel with project complexity
• Become increasingly independent over time

The key is structured growth that matches your project's cadence. Team members contribute meaningfully from the start while expanding their capabilities continuously.

# Our Enablement Approach

We embed with your team to accelerate their growth and ensure project success simultaneously. This isn't traditional consulting where we do the work for you—it's collaborative development where your team learns by doing with expert guidance every step of the way.

# Skills Assessment

We start by understanding where your team is now:

• Individual skill levels and experience with MarkLogic
• Collective team capabilities and knowledge gaps
• Your technology stack, tooling, and development processes
• Project requirements and complexity levels
• Timeline pressures and delivery expectations

This assessment identifies where focused growth will deliver maximum impact and how to structure our engagement for optimal team development.

# Strategic Skill Building

Not all skills are equally important at all times. We analyze the intersection of:

• Your specific requirements and use cases
• Your data characteristics and content
• Your technology stack and integration needs
• Your team's current capabilities

This cross-analysis identifies where to focus development efforts for maximum effectiveness. Teams learn what they need, when they need it, in the context of their actual project work.

# Coaching & Mentoring

Learning happens through doing, with guidance. We work alongside your team members as they:

• Implement features and solve problems
• Make architectural and design decisions
• Troubleshoot issues and optimize performance
• Develop best practices for your specific context

This hands-on coaching builds genuine understanding and confidence. Team members don't just follow instructions—they learn the reasoning behind decisions, enabling them to apply that knowledge independently.

# Technical Leadership Support

Tech leads carry the burden of guiding their teams while ensuring delivery quality. We support tech leads through regular touchpoints:

• Discussing technical challenges and solution approaches
• Reviewing code quality and architectural decisions
• Strategizing team growth and capability development
• Planning how to handle escalating complexity as the project evolves

Supporting your tech lead amplifies our impact—they continue developing the team long after our engagement.

# Bespoke Integration

Every organization has its own way of working. We don't impose our processes—we adapt to yours:

• Your development methodologies and workflows
• Your communication patterns and tools
• Your code review practices and quality standards
• Your deployment and testing approaches

We integrate seamlessly, enhancing your existing practices with MarkLogic-specific expertise and best practices from the broader community and vendor standards.

# The Goal: Self-Sufficiency

Our success is measured by your team becoming increasingly independent. While we may stay involved over time in changing capacities, the focus is always on building your team's capability to operate autonomously.

We aim for your team to:

• Make confident decisions about MarkLogic implementations
• Solve problems independently using their growing knowledge
• Maintain and evolve the codebase without external dependency
• Continue learning and adapting as project requirements change

# Continuous Evolution

Projects evolve. Requirements change. Complexity increases. Your team's capabilities must grow in parallel. Our enablement approach ensures this happens naturally:

Early stages focus on fundamentals—getting team members productive quickly with core MarkLogic concepts and patterns. As the project progresses and requirements become more sophisticated, we guide the team toward advanced topics and complex implementation patterns.

This phased growth matches your project's needs. Teams aren't overwhelmed with advanced concepts they don't yet need, and they're never stuck without knowledge when facing new challenges.

# Investment in Long-Term Success

Team enablement is an investment in your organization's future. Building internal expertise delivers compounding benefits:

• Reduced dependency on external consultants
• Faster feature development as team expertise grows
• Better architectural decisions informed by real project experience
• Sustainable velocity that continues beyond our engagement
• Confidence to tackle new challenges independently

The combination of hands-on coaching, strategic skill development, and continuous support creates lasting capability. Your team doesn't just survive the project—they master MarkLogic and thrive as they continue building and maintaining your solutions.
