What is the TAP System?
The desired outcome can only be achieved through a thoroughly orchestrated set of efforts.
Dedicated to achieving the ultimate quality of our services, we realized there are three pillars of success every product stands on: Team, Approach, and Process.
Every pillar includes dozens of best practices we battle-tested throughout the years of our hard work. Only combined together they allow us to be brilliant at what we do.

Miss one of three pillars, and you'll get troubles along the way
No Team
A weak or incomplete team fails to follow the set approach and processes.
No Approach
Non-feasible goals lead to an unpredictable business outcome.
No Process
Deadlines are missed. The progress is slower than expected.
The TAP System contains ONLY the practices that:
- Bring maximum impact for product initiatives
- Align teams and processes in the organization
- Aimed at reducing software development risks
- Reduce attrition and increase retention in the team
- Are remote native
- Improve the four key metrics suggested by DORA
Since the TAP system includes so many practices for various cases and scenarios, we decided to release it as a Tech Atlas.
Tech Atlas is an interactive coaching tool for engineering leaders. It is available online and organizes the TAP's practices by playbooks and goals for easier navigation and implementation.
