01
Evidence gathering
Five to eight stakeholder interviews plus a focused review of backlogs, sprint history, flow, quality signals, and operating constraints.
Engineering Delivery Diagnostic · Ten business days
Make the engineering system predictable again.
Before you reorganize, add headcount, or blame execution, identify the constraints that are actually breaking delivery. This diagnostic turns interviews, workflow evidence, and operating data into a concrete leadership plan.
When this fits
The problem is active, visible, and expensive.
01
Sprint commitments are treated as guesses because the team rarely finishes what it starts.
02
Unplanned work, production issues, and late dependencies keep displacing the roadmap.
03
Leadership has more delivery metrics than clarity about what is actually broken.
04
Stories enter development too large, too vague, or without a shared definition of done.
05
The team is working hard, but product, engineering, and executives do not trust the plan.
The engagement
Ten days from scattered symptoms to a leadership decision.
02
System diagnosis
A direct assessment across planning, quality, flow, ownership, alignment, and the leadership system surrounding the team.
03
Decision and reset plan
An executive readout that names the few changes most likely to restore predictable delivery, sequenced into a practical 90-day plan.
What leadership receives
A decision-ready plan, not a slide deck that dies in a folder.

Sprint completion in the first sprint. The team averaged 85% across the next eleven.
01
A written diagnosis of the constraints reducing delivery reliability.
02
A baseline scorecard covering planning, flow, quality, ownership, and alignment.
03
The three to five operating changes leadership should make first.
04
A 90-day action plan with owners, milestones, measures, and decision points.
05
An executive readout for the leaders responsible for the outcome.
06
A scoped recommendation for a Delivery Reset when hands-on follow-through is justified.
Ways to start
Engineering Delivery Diagnostic
$5,000 test price
Ten business days, stakeholder interviews, workflow and metrics review, executive readout, and a written 90-day plan.
Delivery Reset
Scoped after the diagnostic
Six to eight weeks of hands-on leadership coaching, operating changes, accountability, and measured follow-through with one team.
A good fit
- The delivery problem is active this quarter, not a hypothetical future concern.
- An engineering decision-maker will sponsor the work and attend the readout.
- The team can provide access to the people, backlog, workflow, and delivery evidence.
- Leadership wants a direct diagnosis and is prepared to act on it.
Not what this is
- Staff augmentation or outsourced feature delivery.
- A generic Agile workshop with no operational follow-through.
- Replacing a team before diagnosing the system around it.
- A report designed to validate a decision leadership has already made.
