How we work
At Lerpal, we bring structure to complexity. Whether you are building a new product or scaling an existing one, we guide you through every step with clarity and expertise. Our approach combines two decades of technical excellence with a delivery process built around transparency and business outcomes.
From First Contact to Estimation
Your journey with Lerpal begins with alignment. We match your goals and vision with our wide range of expertise and capabilities, and then tailor the approach accordingly by matching it with the right experience, tools, and decision-makers inside our team.
We aim to deliver a viable solution: stable, maintainable architecture that is free of hidden dependencies and fragile decisions. It’s a process where we evaluate sustainability, maintainability and ownership. Some projects need speed. Others demand strong foundations. Together, we’ll define the optimal path forward for both short and long-term success.
Scoping and Estimation Timelines
Together we estimate risks, alignment, and cost of change, because we know that getting it right from the start makes everything else smoother later. We start by assessing things like relevant experience we’ve had with similar challenges, your background and current priorities.
Depending on how defined the vision and specifications are, this phase may take between a few days to a couple of weeks. The ultimate goal is to avoid technical debt and early decisions that might have a drastic negative impact later.
Lerpal team follows a philosophy of bringing robust long-term solutions within your budget and timeline. Yes, sometimes speed is essential, but we’ve seen that moving too fast often leads to rework, delays, and budget creep later.

We don’t slow your momentum — we straighten your path to success
Transparent Trade-offs
We’re upfront about decisions and their long-term impact. Some shortcuts come with hidden costs that slow you down later.
No Hidden Dependencies
What looks like a quick win today can become a long-term dependency tomorrow. We help you avoid that.
Built to Evolve
We design solutions that work — even if your team, tools, or goals change along the way.
Delivery Frameworks
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. There is always something unique in each project – and so is yours. That’s why we offer multiple ways of working together depending on your needs, team structure, and internal setup.
We embed into your team adopting your workflows, tools, and delivery rhythm, and act on your behalf with your end-users. This is ideal for long-term collaboration without building out internal infrastructure.
Approach:
- Initial discovery to understand your tech stack and requirements
- Strategic selection of specialists based on skills, experience, and background
Benefits:
- Seamless integration into your processes
- Transparent time tracking and reporting
- Regular feedback and performance reviews
- Easy team scaling based on project flow
We are in dedicated service supply partnerships with a number of our long-term clients. For years, they have relied on our skilled developers to become an extension of their team, seamlessly incorporating and contributing to our clients’ delivery pipelines, tools, and communication with their clients and partners.
Perfect for projects with evolving requirements or when flexibility is key. This model combines agile delivery with predictable reporting and cost transparency.
Approach:
- Estimation and planning based on your idea or specification;
- Agile backlog management and iterative delivery;
- Regular communication with stakeholders for scope alignment.
Benefits:
- Detailed time and progress tracking;
- Sprint planning, review sessions and continuous improvement;
- Monthly billing based on actual work;
- Flexible team sizing as project scope changes;
- Constant refinement of priorities as the project evolves.
We work according to perfected over time procedures and methodologies with continuous improvement of the project backlog. We focus on client’s priorities based on close communication and input from product owners and stakeholders
You stay in control – we bring in vetted specialists who integrate with your existing team and help push the roadmap forward. Best for projects where you own a backlog and directly communicate with each specialist as part of your team. Also works if you want to embed a specific tech stack, expertise or skillset for a time.
Approach:
- Skill-based matchmaking and selection;
- Streamlined onboarding and fast team ramp-up.
Benefits:
- Direct communication channels with augmented specialists;
- Ongoing performance monitoring, feedback loops, and continuous improvement;
- Flexible contracts and quick term extension;
- Clean knowledge transfer and documentation.
Many of our partnerships begin with a single missing role – a data engineer, a React developer, a QA lead. Augmentation helps teams hit goals without disrupting what’s already working
Sometimes you need the structure of T&M with the control of staff augmentation, and that’s where the hybrid mode tailors to your needs.
Approach:
- Start with a core team in Staff Augmentation framework;
- Add other specialists through T&M as your roadmap evolves.
Benefits:
- Ensures stable growth and descaling of various resources;
- Balanced budget control and knowledge retention;
- Great for long term collaboration tackling a variety of client’s projects at different stages.
Our hybrid model works best for teams running several projects in parallel. It gives you the flexibility to grow without losing continuity
