JazzTeam is an international service company with offices in the Netherlands and the USA. We cooperate with developers from many different countries and have permanent development offices in Lithuania and Georgia. We currently have more than 85 employees working for the company.

JazzTeam was founded in 2011 by Dzmitry Harachka, a Java developer and architect with extensive industry experience, a Masters in Engineering and a SCJP/SCWCD, and XP/Scrum practitioner. Before establishing his own company, our founder was professionally engaged in Java development on international projects for many years. During this time, it became clear to him that the Java platform is one of the most versatile and effective technologies for providing Agile-oriented IT services.

While building the JazzTeam philosophy and processes, our founder was inspired by the postulates and principles of the Agile manifesto, which is why JazzTeam management practices are based on the Agile methodology. This approach allows the effective building of processes on projects, the meeting of customer needs, a high level of service, and the creation of solutions that are important to the business and meet customer requirements.

Focusing on Agile methodology and Java technologies allowed JazzTeam to find its niche and be in demand on the market. Our company quickly reached a stable flow of orders and gained a pool of regular customers who were completely satisfied with our services and work. We have maintained strong partnerships with several of them for many years.

We prefer long-term partnerships based on transparency and empathy. At the moment, 78% of our client base are regular customers who chose to continue our relationship after their initial project was completed.

Over many years of doing business, we have built a clear foundation, chosen the processes that we follow every day, and continue to grow. The goal of JazzTeam is to provide a high-quality service, which is the key to the organic and harmonious growth of the company, as well as a guarantee of your confidence in the effectiveness of our services.

Over the past few years, our company experienced some difficult times along with the rest of the world, and we were able to do so without losses. For example, during the pandemic we were able to not only preserve our current customers and justify their trust, but also launched several long-term projects and attracted some new partners. Thanks to a responsible attitude and competent planning, our company has never had any financial difficulties. By relying on competent management and extensive experience in risk management, we are able to adhere to our agreements regardless of any external circumstances. You can also be sure that we will spend your funds wisely and efficiently. We have accumulated a wealth of experience in this matter and always follow the lean approach.

We have been working based on the Agile methodology since the founding of the company. Frequent changes are the effective practice which allows us to follow our customer’s business interests. Having obtained extensive experience in Agile projects with changing requirements, we know how to anticipate risks and fulfill our obligations within the expected timeframe. The activities of all JazzTeam departments are based on the Scrum project management methodology. Each of our employees is the keeper of their tasks, assesses risks in advance, achieves concrete results by the end of the sprint, and analyzes their effectiveness during retrospectives. All this contributes to the efficiency of our processes. The use of Scrum allows us to establish regular deliveries of new product versions, and ensures the transparency of the team’s work to the customer through daily stand-ups and demonstrations of the functionality created during the iteration. We are ready to support and discuss any of your ideas and continue working on any of your company’s other projects.

From the moment of the company’s establishment up until the present day, we have relied on approaches such as Unit Testing, CI/CD, and Test Driven Development. The philosophy, principles, and benchmarks we have followed for more than 10 years are reflected in the «Agile Java Development» slogan. Over the years, we have successfully completed more than 100 long-term projects, and each completed project gives us confirmation that the approaches we adhere to are the correct ones. By collaborating with JazzTeam, you can be sure that we will do everything necessary for the successful completion of your project in the required time.

Our company focuses on building long-term partnerships. We have received a lot of recognition for our professionalism from dozens of satisfied customers who continued their relationships with JazzTeam for several years after the completion of their initial project. We strive to establish strong relationships in which a stable and well-coordinated team develops a product or creates several solutions for the customer.

JazzTeam was originally established as a distributed company with several offices. Therefore, our processes for new employees’ involvement, training, and communication are excellent for remote work conditions. In addition, our specialists have excellent experience working as distributed teams, including multinationally. This means that, you can be sure our employees will quickly adapt to your processes and establish good working relationships with the team.

All JazzTeam employees are on the payroll and work full-time. They are always present at daily standups, and independently make demos of the functionality they create for the customer in the required time. We invest in the adaptation, development, and training of employees, and work hard to create a comfortable psychological environment. Initially, our HR specialists select the candidates ready to maintain our high level of service, share our values, and have the necessary personal qualities to work on projects. In this way, we are able to create stable teams of professionals focused on coordinated work. If it’s necessary to involve independent consultants or contractors on the project, we only do so with the knowledge of the customer.

Thanks to our accumulated experience in various domains, our specialists will be ready to start working on your project without the need for business trips, personal meetings, and long-term adaptation. For example, our team was able to quickly and independently dive into the project of a customer from the Netherlands. We figured out a complex product with a large amount of code, and our specialists independently found the necessary information and built relationships with the team. With JazzTeam, you can be sure that the time you pay for will not be wasted.
