I'm looking for an expert to set up a project management system for our software development team using Jira and the Atlassian Suite. We need a customized workflow to handle our agile process, including sprint planning, issue tracking, and reporting. The setup should also integrate with our existing tools like GitHub and Slack.

What is a Tech Gig?

A tech gig is a mini-project with a clear and concise scope, is typically under 1 month, and requires an expert to execute. Gigs should ideally require little project onboarding time.

What if I need more work done after the gig is completed?

You can continue working with the expert who executed the gig on an hourly basis.

Are gigs a good option for larger projects?

For projects over 2 months with more than 1 expert, fixed price gigs become impractical and we strongly recommend you to hire the expert(s) via upper.co, on a fixed monthly retainer or engage over an hourly 'time and materials' setup.

How many bids do I receive for a gig?

For every gig you will receive between 1 and 3 bids to review.

How do payments work?

Payments are issued in 2 phase, with UPPER in the middle for security. The first payment of 50% is done upfront to start work. The second payment is done at the end after the work has been delivered.
