Ep.10: Scrums.com - AI Software Factory

Description

Software delivery breaks when speed, quality, cost, and control all collide. Scrums.com says it has built a better model. Chase Le Roux sits down with Matt Robertshaw to discuss an AI-powered approach designed to help fintech and enterprise teams ship faster without losing transparency, accountability, or ownership.

 

Scrums.com is a Software Engineering Orchestration Platform (SEOP). We connect high-growth technology companies with elite, Africa-based software engineering talent — and we orchestrate the delivery layer between them. We are not a staffing agency. We are not a dev shop. We are a platform business that manages the full lifecycle of software engineering capacity: sourcing, vetting, onboarding, delivery, and retention.

 

Matt shares lessons from a decade of complex delivery work across banking, fintech, retail, e-commerce, and more. From an agricultural fintech build in South Africa to the challenges of stakeholder misalignment, he explains why software projects stall, where fixed-fee and hourly models can fall short, and how a managed delivery system can reduce risk without slowing teams down.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why stakeholder alignment is often a key factor in project success
• How Scrums.com combines delivery ownership, managed teams, and AI augmentation
• What “unlimited requests” means in practice
• How queueing, scoping, and prioritization work in the delivery plan
• How AI agents can support code reviews, testing, and workflows without replacing engineers
• How clients retain control and ownership of their intellectual property
• Why clean data matters when building with AI

 

If you lead product, engineering, or transformation at a bank, fintech, or enterprise company, this conversation explores how experience, process, and AI can work together to improve software delivery.
