How We Work
Our Approach to Projects
Digiata's approach is centred on delivering effective solutions through a combination of skilled teams, sound methodologies, and strong company values.
Software Engineering Teams
Digiata's software engineering team is a dynamic group characterised by curiosity and innovation. Driven by a passion for excellence, continuous learning is a core value within the organisation. The team exemplifies Digiata's dedication to growth and advancement, aggressively approaching their work and seeking new challenges. Collaboration and shared discovery are key to fostering mutual support and empowerment to push boundaries. The team embodies Digiata's commitment to excellence and innovation, driving the company's success and growth.
Digiata's software teams immerse themselves in every facet of the development lifecycle, from initial requirement elicitation to design, front-end and back-end development, database architecture, ongoing maintenance, rigorous testing, and continuous improvement/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.
How We Build Our Software Engineering Teams
Digiata builds small, focused teams of talented individuals to achieve great results. Each team is carefully selected, blending management and software engineers at various skill levels. Junior engineers work with seniors to learn and grow, while mid-level engineers get support and mentor juniors.
Peer code reviews ensure quality and knowledge sharing across the team. Our flat structure encourages collaboration and shared success. We focus on continuous career growth with regular check-ins to celebrate wins and address challenges. Monthly talks with managers provide feedback, performance reviews, and career planning. At Digiata, we prioritise creating engaged, collaborative teams that adapt to project needs. We aim for quick, high-quality solutions while ensuring our teams enjoy the process.

Our Approach to Project Delivery
We maintain agility through small, self-contained teams of 3-5 people led by experienced Senior Managers, with projects typically spanning one to six months. By breaking work into manageable segments, we enhance focus and maintain continuous progress while promoting autonomy—our teams operate independently and make the tactical and operational decisions necessary for successful project completion.
This approach is guided by specific principles that define how we work:
- We are deliberate and specific, asking questions when clarity is needed and continuously improving on past efforts.
- Our commitment to lifelong learning drives us to experiment with new approaches, understanding that iteration leads to superior results.
- We take pride in our work, utilise time effectively, and remain curious about emerging possibilities.
- We demonstrate genuine empathy for our team members and clients throughout our engagements.
Our Values
At Digiata, we're guided by principles that define both our character and our approach to business:

- We embrace uncertainty with curiosity and a problem-solving mindset, viewing challenges as innovative opportunities. We remain adaptable and entrepreneurial, evolving our methods to meet changing demands while maintaining our core principles.
- In all our work, we demonstrate conscientiousness—paying attention to details while never losing sight of the bigger picture. Above all, we strive to be impactful, ensuring every engagement delivers meaningful value that advances your business objectives.
