Technology strategy, vendor selection, and hands-on Agile project management — for when you need someone who's been through it before, not someone learning on your project.
Schedule a conversationMost advisory work has a problem: the people giving the advice never deliver on it. They write a strategy deck, hand it off, and disappear. Then someone else — usually less senior, often less informed — has to actually make it work.
We do both. The strategy and the build. The technology choice and the integration. The roadmap and the sprints. Because advice without delivery is just opinion, and we'd rather be measured on outcomes than slides.
One or two weeks of focused listening — stakeholders, technical reviews, system walk-throughs. The deliverable is a clear-eyed assessment of where you are, not where you said you were.
A short, written plan with options. Tradeoffs explicit. Costs honest. No fake urgency, no scope inflation. You decide what to do next — or whether to do anything at all.
If the plan needs hands, we provide them — either ours, or yours with us as the coach. If it doesn't, we hand you something you can actually execute on without us.
Agile is a framework, not a religion. We've delivered with Scrum, Kanban, ShapeUp, and good old-fashioned plain-language project plans — whatever fits the team and the stakes. What matters more than the methodology is the discipline: two-week sprints, weekly stakeholder visibility, no surprises at the end.
For larger programs, we coordinate multi-team delivery — making sure the people building it, the people deciding it, and the people paying for it are all aimed at the same outcome.
Advisory engagements typically run as monthly retainers with clearly defined deliverables, or as fixed-scope assessments for one-off questions ("should we replatform?", "is this vendor any good?", "why is this project late?"). For fractional CTO work, it's usually 5–10 hours a week on a monthly basis. We'll recommend the model that fits the question.
Advisory often connects to the hands-on services.
When the advisory leads to "yes, build it" — we can take it from strategy through delivery without a handoff.
