CASE

Dentech

Dental technology platform development

Background

Dentech is a dental technology company connected to the Aqua Dental group. Rhyme was brought in to support a critical team transition — onboarding new developers, establishing QA processes, and ensuring continuity during a developer handover period.

Beyond the transition, Rhyme provided strategic input on development processes and team dynamics.

Challenges

Knowledge transfer

Developer handover requiring structured knowledge transfer within a tight timeline.

Communication gaps

Disconnect between development team and product owners causing unclear requirements and shifting priorities.

Process gaps

No established QA processes, sprint reviews, or Definition of Ready/Done — leading to unpredictable delivery.

Not just code — process, people, and culture.

Solution

Rhyme provided both technical capacity and process consulting:

•Structured onboarding plan with overlapping handover period between outgoing and incoming developers
•Post-sprint planning sessions with combined solution and QA perspectives
•Sprint review sessions for stakeholder alignment
•Agile coaching recommendations and clear communication cadence with product owners
•Established Definition of Ready and Definition of Done for predictable delivery

Results

The developer transition was completed successfully with full knowledge transfer and established QA processes. The new team structure improved communication with product owners and brought predictability to the development cycle.

Sometimes the biggest impact isn't new code — it's better ways of working.
