Oivan Elevate
We help you to build sustainable, world-class software development capabilities for your organization. Drawing on Nordic engineering excellence and deep regional experience, we enable our clients to adopt modern agile practices, DevSecOps, and AI-powered development.
Building World-Class Software Development Capabilities
Transform Your Development Teams into High-Performing Digital Delivery Squads
While Oivan Propel modernizes your legacy systems, Oivan Elevate transforms your people and processes. This productized capacity-building service is designed specifically for Saudi organizations seeking to build sustainable, world-class software development capabilities aligned with Vision 2030's emphasis on local talent development.
Many Saudi organizations face a common challenge: development teams with strong technical foundations but limited exposure to modern agile practices, DevSecOps methodologies, and AI-powered development workflows. Oivan Elevate bridges this gap through a structured, hands-on program that combines Nordic best practices with practical, real-world application.
Four-Track Transformation Program
Our capacity-building approach is built on the principle of "learn by doing" – we don't just train your teams, we work alongside them to transform their ways of working.
Track 1:
Agile & DevSecOps Foundations (4-6 Weeks)
We establish the foundational practices that enable high-velocity, secure software delivery.
Program Components:
- Agile Scrum Immersion: Hands-on training in sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and backlog management using your actual projects.
- DevSecOps Pipeline Design: Building automated CI/CD pipelines with embedded security testing, code quality checks, and deployment automation.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Training on modern infrastructure management using Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Security-First Development: Implementing secure coding practices, OWASP standards, and NCA compliance requirements.
Delivery Model: 2 onsite coaches + embedded team collaboration for 4-6 weeks.
Track 2: Modern Development Practices & AI Integration (6-8 Weeks)
We upskill your developers in cutting-edge technologies and AI-powered development workflows.
Program Components:
- Modern Tech Stack Training: Hands-on development with React, Angular, .NET Core, Python, Node.js, and cloud-native architectures.
- AI-Powered Development: Training on GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT for code generation, and AI-assisted debugging and documentation.
- Microservices Architecture: Designing and implementing scalable, maintainable microservices using domain-driven design principles.
- API-First Development: Building robust RESTful APIs and event-driven architectures.
- Test-Driven Development (TDD): Writing comprehensive automated tests to ensure code quality and reliability.
Delivery Model: Specialized technical coaches working directly with development teams on live projects.
Track 3:
Team Leadership & Product Ownership (4 Weeks)
We develop your technical leaders, product owners, and scrum masters to drive continuous improvement.
Program Components:
- Product Owner Certification: Training in backlog prioritization, stakeholder management, and value-driven delivery.
- Scrum Master Excellence: Facilitating effective ceremonies, removing impediments, and fostering high-performing team culture.
- Technical Leadership: Coaching senior developers on architecture decisions, code reviews, and mentoring junior team members.
- Metrics-Driven Management: Implementing DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR) to measure and improve performance.
Delivery Model: Leadership coaching + workshops + ongoing mentorship.
Track 4:
Continuous Improvement & Knowledge Transfer (Ongoing)
We ensure sustainable transformation through documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous coaching.
Program Components:
- Living Documentation: Creating comprehensive, maintainable documentation of systems, processes, and best practices.
- Internal Training Programs: Establishing peer-to-peer learning, code review practices, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Community of Practice: Building internal communities around specific technologies and practices.
- Performance Monitoring: Regular assessments and feedback loops to track progress and identify areas for improvement.
Delivery Model: Quarterly check-ins + on-demand support + access to Oivan’s knowledge base.

Real-World Application: Learning Through Delivery
Unlike traditional training programs that end with a certificate, Oivan Elevate embeds learning into your actual project delivery:
- Week 1-2: Coaches work onsite with your teams, introducing new practices and tools through workshops and pair programming.
- Week 3-4: Your teams apply new skills to real project work, with coaches providing guidance and code reviews.
- Ongoing: Teams work independently with regular check-ins, retrospectives, and continuous improvement cycles.
Our approach ensures that knowledge is not just transferred but embedded into your team’s daily workflows and organizational culture.
