We Transform How the World Builds Software

Be Empowered to Create Change.

Enterprises and startups rely on our 20 years of agile development – the work we do alongside our clients as an integrated product design team. Together we solve real problems and launch market-tested, innovative products that have the power to transform the world. Because we work collaboratively, your team will learn cutting-edge technology and best practices. The knowledge you absorb while working with Pivotal Labs® is just as valuable as the product itself.

Pivotal Innovation Workshop

Designed with leadership in mind, this workshop moves your team from ambiguity to clarity with zero lectures or presentations. We believe that your team already has the answer you're seeking. Our job is to help you find it.
Pivotal facilitators use methods honed through thousands of hours collaborating with product teams in startups, enterprises and governments around the globe.
Our techniques support Lean Startup and Agile methodologies. Welcome to a new way of thinking.

Build from What You Know, Not What You Think

Pivots and your team dive into the “what, why and how” to discover and prioritize the best features to help meet your end goal. It is all about your user. We need to know, not guess, what they need and want from your product.

A-B-T, Always Be Testing

We spend time directly with your users, and prototype on paper and whiteboards, to quickly test our hypotheses. Our aim is for every decision we make to be validated. Usability testing is done weekly, to rapidly evaluate and assess features and functions, ensuring that your product is always on the right track.

Red. Green. Refactor.

Everything we build passes a suite of automated and manual tests. This allows us to focus on new features (instead of bugs) and gives you the confidence to evolve and adapt. Through test-driven development, the products we build are always reliable and flexible.

Two Heads are Better Than One

We pair our product managers, designers and engineers with counterparts from your team to work side by side, in the same office, 40 hours a week.
