Why OutSystems02 / 12

Speed without
shortcuts.

OutSystems compresses the build-to-production cycle without sacrificing what enterprise software needs — integration, governance, security, scale. It works because the platform makes the boring problems automatic, so the team can spend its time on the parts that actually matter: domain, UX, integration design.

And it scales. From a single product squad to a multi-team factory, the platform supports the same governance, the same standards, the same operational model.

The platform isn't new to us, and our muscle memory shows in the way we shape engagements — what to do in the first week, where the integration risks usually sit, how to structure a team for the size of the problem.

Engagement model04 / 12

Four shapes,
one platform.

01
Single product squad
A tight team takes one product end-to-end. Right for a focused MVP or a discrete domain.
02
Multi-product portfolio
Several squads in parallel across the customer's product portfolio. Cross-team coordination from KIS.
03
Factory governance
KIS owns the OutSystems factory at the customer — standards, code review, environments, releases — across all teams.
04
Embedded extended team
KIS engineers blended with the customer's people in one team. Long-term partnership, full transparency.

Phase 1+2 · Discover & Design05 / 12

The first weeks.

Discover · 1–2 weeks
  • Process mapping with the business owners
  • Stakeholder interviews — IT, security, compliance
  • Integration surface scan (which core systems, which protocols)
  • Business-case framing and rough size estimate
  • Technical-fit verdict — is OutSystems the right pick?
Design · 2–3 weeks
  • Information architecture and user journeys
  • Target OutSystems architecture (modules, apps, environments)
  • Integration map with data contracts
  • Security model and compliance review
  • Sprint plan with milestones to first demo

Phase 3 · Build06 / 12

Sprints with the
business in the room.

CADENCE
Two-week iterations
Sprint plan → daily standup → demo to business owners → retro → next sprint plan. Every two weeks. No exceptions.
QUALITY
Embedded QA
QA in the squad, not at the end. Test cases written with the feature. Regression on every release.
CI/CD
Continuous integration
Every build deploys to dev. Every release-candidate deploys to staging. Production releases on a clear cadence.

The customer's product owner watches the build every sprint. Course corrections happen in days, not quarters.

Phase 4 · Run07 / 12

Operate, evolve,
or hand off.

Hyper-care
  • 2–4 week intensive post-launch window
  • Performance tuning under real load
  • Same team that built it stays on call
  • Fix-forward, not patch-and-pray
Evolve or transition
  • Continuous evolution by the same team — backlog of business features keeps moving
  • Or planned handover to the customer's own team, with knowledge transfer and shadowing
  • Or extended-team continuation — KIS engineers stay embedded long-term

Quality & governance08 / 12

What "factory governance"
actually means.

01
Standards
Module decomposition, naming, error handling, integration patterns. Written down, enforced.
02
Code review
Every PR reviewed before merge. Senior eyes on every release candidate.
03
Environments
Dev / test / staging / prod, with deployment rules, access controls and rollback paths.
04
Performance & security
Load tests on releases, security review on each major change, OutSystems platform audits scheduled.

Team shapes09 / 12

From two people
to twenty.

XS
Pair
1 tech lead + 1 dev. Right for a focused build, MVP, or tightly-scoped extension. Days to weeks.
S
Squad
Tech lead, 2–3 devs, embedded QA, BA. The default shape for a single product engagement.
M
Multi-squad
2–4 squads with a delivery lead orchestrating. For multi-product portfolios or large platforms.
L
Factory
10+ engineers across squads, plus a factory-governance role owning standards and environments.

TAP Air Portugal · Pandemic Voucher · OutSystems

When the cycle has to compress.

Setup

COVID had grounded the global fleet. TAP needed to process 1.6M flight cancellations through voucher refunds — work that would normally take months.

Method applied

Compressed discover & design (days, not weeks). Single squad, intensive build sprints, integration with accounting and customer service in parallel. Customer's product owner in the room every day.

Where it scales11 / 12

One platform, many teams.

OutSystems scales because the platform carries the governance for you — environments, deployment pipelines, code analysis, multi-app architecture. With factory governance on top, dozens of engineers across multiple squads can ship to production every two weeks without stepping on each other.

That's not an aspiration. That's how the TAP factory runs.
