Upskilling Gousto engineers to accelerate delivery of growth initiatives

In the face of accelerating demand for its personalised meal kit boxes, Gousto needed to double its on-demand services without disrupting the business. Crosstide developed the agile framework and best practices Gousto needed to accelerate the sustainable delivery of an ambitious product roadmap, without disrupting its day-to-day operations.

Client story - Gousto

The challenge

A market-leading UK-based subscription business, Gousto had to scale up its engineering teams at speed to cope with unprecedented demand for home-delivered recipe boxes triggered by the pandemic. With two new factories coming online, the pressure was on to get work done and ensure projects were aligned with business needs.

The solution

Working with the VP of Engineering, Crosstide developed a new agile planning and governance process and paired experienced Agile Coaches and Delivery Managers with individual teams/squads to provide ‘on the job’ coaching for Gousto engineers.


Crosstide’s experienced consultants transferred learning, helping teams with the day-to-day planning, prioritisation, and delivery of project roadmaps.

The result

The new agile framework and embedded ways of working allow Gousto’s engineering teams to prioritise and streamline the delivery of initiatives while maintaining a tight focus on business continuity. Gousto is now able to manage its market growth trajectory confidently.

We created a framework for Gousto’s sustained growth, enabling them to scale their engineering teams, meet increased customer demand, and implement new processes and team structures for future success.”
