Sometimes things take an unexpected turn costing you time and money. Maybe you are missing deadlines or things have really stalled. Regardless of the reasons behind your struggling project, you know it’s not moving fast enough and customers and stakeholders are tired of waiting.
The good news is we have done this many times before across dozens of industries and can get things back on track quickly. You can count on us for professional and accelerated outcomes moving forward.
How We Do It
1. Diagnosis & Assessment. We begin by understanding the requirements and project scope (initial commitment and current commitments). During this phase, we also analyze technology decisions, team structures and available tools.
2. Rapid Response. We draft a root cause analysis and rapid response plan custom tailored for your unique situation. This comprehensive master plan may involve:
- Agile and Team Adjustments: Ranging from practical to aggressive team and role adjustments, this will provide your project with the right people in the right seats. Adjustments are necessary if your team is working overtime for long stretches and showing signs of burning out. We can fill interim and long-term gaps with our deep bench of cross-functional pros.
- Architecture and Tooling Changes: Whether it’s bleeding edge or too much legacy debt, we have remediated simple and complex situations many times. Modern and proven tool changes can also boost productivity and accountability tenfold.
- Workflow and Lifecycle Adjustments: We help break down silos, improve communication, improve inefficiencies and adapt your roadmap and processes to the demands of your project so everyone can focus on outcomes.
- Technology Stack Cleanup: Sometimes the technology used to build your new tech can get in the way of progress. Clear signs that something needs to change are if builds take too long or teams are spending significant amounts of their time putting out fires.
- Full Takeover Option: We have a deep bench of design, product and engineering expertise that has seen a lot, solved a lot, and received praise from stakeholders and fellow team members after the job is done.
3. All Hands On Deck. Once the plan and approach has been reviewed and agreed on, we assemble the right people and work alongside your team to achieve the outcome you had envisioned, a successful project launch. Trust us, your customers will thank you.
