Coursera navigates growth with more strategic approach to scale IT teams

Coursera, a leader in online education, had a massive growth opportunity when demand for online learning skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. To capitalize, Coursera needed to scale its engineering teams quickly to support quality assurance and application development. 

Coursera tapped Andela to provide a solution driven by 25 high-quality engineers who were quickly onboarded and embedded within the Coursera engineering teams. The Andela team focused on maintaining core platforms and streamlining application development and QA processes. 

The Andela experts helped Coursera cultivate a culture of continuous innovation while rapidly scaling its teams. This shift scaled Coursera’s product roadmap, propelling educational accessibility and excellence to new heights.
