Tailored for People, AI, or Both

Whether you choose 3Bird People, 3Bird AI Lab, or a hybrid model — our process ensures clarity, quality, and measurable results from day one.

How We Work

Select your engagement model to see the step-by-step process.

1

Needs Analysis

We conduct a free intake call to understand your project, required skills, team size, timelines, and cultural preferences. No assumptions, only listening.

2

Talent Matching

Our talent team curates 2–3 developer profiles from our Nepal pool that match your tech stack and seniority needs. You review CVs and optionally interview candidates.

3

Onboarding

Selected developers join your tools (Jira, Slack, GitHub), get oriented by our European PM, and participate in a kick-off sprint to align on standards and expectations.

4

Agile Sprints

2-week sprint cycles with daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. Your European PM keeps you informed weekly with progress reports and flags risks early.

5

European-Led Delivery

All deliverables pass through European PM and optional CTO review before reaching you. Code reviews, QA gates, and documentation are standard — not extra.

6

Scale & Adapt

Expand the team, adjust engagement model, add a CTO, or transition to hybrid. We grow with your project without friction.

What Makes This Different

The European oversight layer is what separates 3Bird People from standard offshore outsourcing. Our PMs and CTOs understand European business culture, speak your language, and hold developers to European standards — eliminating the communication gap that kills most offshore projects.

1

Scope & Goals

A focused requirements workshop defines the scope, acceptance criteria, technical constraints, and desired outputs. We also establish what AI can and can't do for this specific case.

2

AI-Assisted Generation

AI-Sitters use state-of-the-art tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, GPT-4, custom models) to generate code, architecture, components, and documentation rapidly.

3

Human Review Cycle 1

Senior engineers review all AI output for correctness, security, and quality. Non-compliant sections are flagged, improved, or manually rewritten.

4

QA & Testing

Automated test suites run first. Then manual QA engineers validate business logic, edge cases, performance, and user experience against requirements.

5

Ethical & Security Audit

European senior engineer conducts final security scan, ethical review, license compliance check, and GDPR assessment before delivery.

6

Polished Delivery & Handover

Full documentation, AI contribution report, and handover session. Option to continue with 3Bird People for scale and maintenance.

Iteration Cycles

For complex projects, we run multiple generation → review cycles rather than one big bang delivery. Each cycle refines output, ensuring quality compounds with each iteration rather than degrading.

Combine the best of both worlds. Use AI-Sitters for rapid early phases, then hand off to 3Bird People for scale, stability, and long-term ownership.

1

Phase 1: AI Lab — Rapid Foundation

AI-Sitters build the MVP, prototype, or core feature set. Fast, cost-effective, validated quickly with real users or investors.

Days to weeks
2

Phase 2: Validate & Iterate

Test the AI Lab output with real users or stakeholders. Gather feedback, define what needs to scale, and plan the People phase.

1–3 weeks
3

Phase 3: 3Bird People — Scale & Own

Dedicated developers take over the codebase, extend features, handle maintenance, and own the long-term roadmap with full European PM supervision.

Ongoing

Seamless Transition

Our European project managers handle every handover between AI Lab and People teams. Codebase documentation, architecture decisions, and technical context are fully transferred — nothing gets lost.

  • Comprehensive codebase handover documentation
  • Architecture decision records (ADRs) included
  • Joint sprint with both teams during transition
  • Single PM throughout both phases

Why Hybrid Works

Hybrid clients consistently report the best cost-to-velocity ratio. AI Lab reduces initial investment by 50–65%, while 3Bird People ensure long-term stability. We make global + AI collaboration feel local and effortless.

Our Core Working Principles

Regardless of which proposition you choose, these principles govern every engagement.

Transparent Communication

No surprises. Weekly updates, clear sprint reports, and proactive risk flagging are standard on every project.

Quality Gates Always

Every sprint output passes code review, QA, and security checks before it reaches you — no exceptions.

Ethical AI Use

AI is a tool, not a decision-maker. Human engineers hold accountability for all outputs, always.

Your Team, Not a Vendor

We integrate into your culture, tools, and processes. 3Bird developers attend your standups, use your Slack, and care about your product.

Continuous Improvement

Retrospectives aren't optional. We improve our process every sprint and share learnings across the team.

IP & Data Protection

Full NDAs, GDPR-compliant processes, and IP ownership clearly assigned to you. Your code is your code.
