As a leading company in Agile development—particularly Scrum—we utilize the Scrum framework even in our contract development services. Through short cycles called "Sprints" (lasting 1 to 2 weeks), you can review working software and request additions or changes to requirements. This allows for a flexible response to shifts in the market environment and user needs.
Our structure enables real-time communication with the Scrum team via web conferencing and chat tools. For clients considering future insourcing, participating as a member of the Scrum team allows you to absorb practical Agile development know-how firsthand.
The Odd-e Group is a global network providing consulting, coaching, and training in Agile and Scrum, with locations in Singapore, China, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, USA, and the Netherlands. Just as Odd-e Japan established Pastoral Dog for system development, each of our global bases has its own development entity. We primarily collaborate with Odd-e Thailand, integrating Agile practices such as TDD (Test-Driven Development) and CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) into offshore development. While offshore development often faces quality concerns, our Scrum Development Lab ensures the delivery of high-quality software.
Our experienced Product Managers manage the offshore development team, allowing you to communicate your requirements directly to our local representatives in Japanese. You can benefit from the cost advantages of offshore development without the overhead of English communication or the need for overseas business trips.

Cost Reduction
When developing new products in-house, it is common to form a team through internal transfers or new hires, but this carries inherent risks. These include the risk of missing business opportunities due to lengthy hiring processes or internal coordination, and the risk of technical mismatches failing to deliver essential features. Once a team is formed or hiring is finalized, it is difficult to quickly dissolve the team or undo recruitment even if risks manifest.
At our Scrum Development Lab, professional Product Managers and Tech Leads begin by understanding your requirements to assemble the optimal development team. After development starts, you review the results every short Sprint (1–2 weeks). Since outcomes are delivered as tangible, working software, risk management becomes much easier. Our flexible structure also allows for member additions or changes, leading to further cost optimization.
As a company that provides comprehensive support for the adoption and utilization of Scrum, we can also propose organizational consulting and human resource development (training and coaching) to facilitate your future transition to in-house development.
Beyond just building requested systems, we bring your ideas to life in the most optimal form for your business.
