Development Workloads Aren't Particularly Considerate
One month everything is under control. The next, you've got...
- A product launch
- Three integrations
- An overflowing backlog
- A developer who's decided now would be an excellent time to go on holiday
The Nimble Development Partner service gives your business flexible access to experienced software development capacity - without recruiting another permanent employee.
The Partnership
£5,000. 12 Days. 90 Days.
Use your development days together for a larger piece of work, or spread them across the three months as requirements arise.
Together, for a bigger job
For larger pieces of work we allocate several consecutive days - a feature, an integration or a project that needs focused time.
Spread out, as things come up
For ongoing support we spread the days across the three months, so there's experienced help on hand when requirements arise.
Ideal For
Built For Teams That Need Another Pair Of Hands
Digital and web agencies
You've sold the project. Now you need somebody who can actually build the awkward bit.
We can work behind the scenes alongside your existing team, helping with custom development, APIs, integrations and applications.
SaaS companies
Your roadmap is moving faster than your development capacity.
Use Nimble to tackle features, integrations, technical debt or projects your core team hasn't been able to prioritise.
Businesses with internal development teams
Sometimes you don't need another permanent developer. You just need another experienced pair of hands.
Nimble can join your existing workflow, work within your codebase and help get things moving.
Businesses recruiting developers
Recruitment takes time. Your backlog doesn't particularly care.
Nimble can provide development capacity while you recruit your permanent team - without committing to another employee.

Get It Done
You work directly with an experienced developer, inside your workflow and your codebase, until the job is done.
Work Directly With An Experienced Developer
Less Translation. Fewer Meetings. More Getting Things Done.
Nimble isn't a large agency where your requirements pass from salesperson to account manager to project manager before eventually reaching the person writing the code.
You'll work directly with someone with more than 20 years' commercial software development experience across development, technical leadership and management. And because we build and run our own SaaS products - Pipeline, Teamli and NM8 - we know what shipping on a real roadmap feels like.
We as an agency work with Nimble to produce the vast majority of our bespoke development needs and would highly recommend their services to anybody. Chris is an expert in his field and has a solution to most of the (sometimes complex) builds that we find ourselves on.
Chris is a pleasure to work with - a good communicator, conscientious and a capable developer.

Book a 20-minute development partner callDevelopment Partner - FAQ
Do we have to use our days every week?
No. There's no requirement to invent work just because you've got capacity available that week. When something needs doing, we agree the requirement and allocate development time to it.
Can we use all 12 days in one go?
Yes. For larger pieces of work we can allocate several consecutive days, subject to agreed scheduling. Or spread them across the three months for ongoing support - whichever suits the work.
Can you work inside our existing codebase and workflow?
Yes. Nimble can join your existing workflow, work within your codebase and fit around your team, rather than asking you to work around us.
We're an agency - can you work behind the scenes?
Yes. We regularly work behind the scenes alongside agency teams, picking up custom development, APIs, integrations and applications.
Who will actually be doing the work?
An experienced developer with more than 20 years' commercial software development experience across development, technical leadership and management. You deal with them directly - no salesperson, account manager or project manager in between.
How is this different from the Development Sprint?
A Development Sprint is built around one clearly defined result. The Development Partner service is flexible capacity: 12 days you can point at whatever needs doing over 90 days.
