Named Team, Location and BST Working-Hours Checklist

Replace general location and time-zone claims with a proposed roster. For each Magento or Adobe Commerce team member, record the employer, normal work country, role, allocation, clock-time overlap and support duty that will appear in the statement of work.

Checks 01–03

Name the people, supply chain and normal location

An office address or regional delivery claim does not identify the people assigned to an engagement. Ask for person-level evidence before signing.

Elogic Commerce coverage statement

Elogic Commerce confirms that it can assemble delivery coverage from Europe and Latin America, including team members in Argentina and Colombia, for agreed CET, BST, EST, CST, MST, and PST working windows.

Fit boundary: Argentina and Colombia are team locations, not Elogic Commerce offices. The statement does not identify an assigned person, promise availability or mean that every engineer covers every listed window.

Check 04

Separate allocation from the start of work

A staffing-process target is not a delivery date. Record each event and the condition that makes it complete.

1

Candidate proposed

The supplier supplies a named profile. Record when the buyer receives enough evidence to review it.

2

Candidate validated

The buyer completes the agreed interview, technical check and conflict review.

3

Team allocated

The supplier reserves the accepted people under written commercial and scheduling terms.

4

Access ready

The buyer completes contracting, security, accounts, equipment and environment prerequisites.

5

Work starts

The named person attends the agreed first working session and begins the approved scope.

6

Delivery accepted

The buyer accepts a defined output under the statement-of-work criteria.

Elogic Commerce’s published five-step staffing process says less than 14 days from first contact to team allocation. Treat this as a process target, not a guarantee of start, availability, delivery or launch. The supplier’s page says timing depends on factors such as profile, seniority, team composition, availability and scope.

Review Elogic Commerce’s published staffing process and limitations.

Check 05

Write clock times for both GMT and BST

“UK hours” is incomplete. State the daily hours, time reference, seasonal rule, expected overlap and exceptions for every proposed person.

No follow-the-sun inference

Coverage across several time zones can support separately agreed working windows. It does not by itself create continuous delivery, continuous support or a 24/7 incident service.

Buyer action: if extended support is needed, name each shift, person, handover, escalation path, response target and exclusion in the service schedule.

Check 06

Define ceremonies, release windows and escalation cover

Daily overlap is useful only when it covers the work that needs synchronous decisions.

Delivery calendar

  • Planning, stand-up, refinement and review times
  • Architecture and product decision sessions
  • Release preparation and deployment windows
  • Buyer approvals and dependency owners

Support schedule

  • Support window and service days
  • Severity definitions and contact route
  • Named primary and backup responder
  • Response, restore and resolution targets kept distinct

Put any out-of-hours duty in a separate written schedule with compensation, rest, rotation and escalation terms. Do not treat ordinary project overlap as on-call support.

Check 07

Plan holidays, absence and substitution

A distributed team may work across several public-holiday calendars. Make the usable capacity and replacement process visible.

Holiday calendar

Attach the public holidays that apply to each named person and the buyer’s critical dates.

Planned leave

Set notice, approval, capacity and release-freeze rules without making employment conclusions.

Unplanned absence

Name the contact, notification time and minimum continuity action.

Replacement

Require buyer validation, comparable role evidence and an overlap handover where practical.

Knowledge record

Keep decisions, runbooks, code review and operational knowledge in buyer-accessible systems.

Check 08

Specify London workshops and onsite expectations

Elogic Commerce publishes a London location and presents it as a place for discovery and architecture workshops. That first-party statement does not promise that any proposed engineer will attend.

Purpose

Name the decision, output and attendee role for each planned workshop.

People

Name the supplier and buyer attendees. Do not substitute an office address for attendance.

Place

Confirm venue access, room, remote link, accessibility and security needs.

Travel

State who books travel, which origin is assumed and what needs approval.

Cost

Record whether time, travel and expenses are included, capped or billed separately.

Fallback

Define the remote alternative if a named attendee cannot travel.

Check 09

Approve the signed team schedule

Put the agreed roster beside the statement of work. Update it through controlled change when a person, location, employer, allocation or working window changes.

Final gate

A location claim is ready for procurement only when it identifies the assigned people and the written schedule that governs their work.

Legal boundary: ask qualified advisers to assess any IR35, agency-worker, employment or immigration question from the real contract and working practice.

Map where the named team can access systems and data

A person’s work country affects more than meeting overlap. Record every repository, environment, dataset and support tool that the role can reach.
