A 12-Month Roadmap for Scaling Your Platform with a Dedicated Squad
Growth is easier when your team grows in the right order. Here is a simple year-long plan you can adapt.
Quarter 1: build the foundation
Start with a web developer at 60 to 100% and a project manager at 20%. Goal: a working first release in front of real users, with a weekly demo rhythm.
Quarter 2: make it reliable
Add QA at 30 to 40% and technical support at 20%. Goal: automated tests on critical paths, monitoring in place, and fewer surprises after each release.
Quarter 3: widen the surface
Add an app developer or integrations work. Goal: reach users on the channels they prefer and connect the platform to the tools your customers already use.
Quarter 4: amplify and plan year two
Add social media support to share what you have shipped, review analytics, and decide which roles to move in-house. Because every TreeHex project includes 6 months of post-launch support, the first release stays covered for its first six months.
FAQ
Do we have to follow this order?
No. It is a starting point. Your users and roadmap should decide the order.
What if priorities change mid-year?
Allocations are reviewed monthly, so you can change the mix as soon as priorities change.
