What to build, what to buy and what to stop doing.
Process assessment and guidance to decide, running the project too if needed. Sometimes the conclusion is that nothing should be built, and that's useful as well.
What it's hired for
-
Deciding before spending
When there are three proposals on the table and it isn't clear which solves the real problem, or which can be sustained afterwards.
-
Mapping the process
Writing down how work actually happens today, spreadsheets included. That's where the steps nobody knew existed tend to surface.
-
Running the project
With PMBOK, Scrum or Kanban as the project warrants, not as fashion dictates. Scope, timelines and who decides what.
-
IT governance
When the technology is already several pieces and needs order: who owns what, how a change is requested, what gets measured.
Before you decide
What we usually get asked.
- What if the conclusion is that hiring you isn't right for me?
- We say so. The assessment is delivered anyway and you can take it to whoever you need. Selling development that doesn't solve the problem costs more in the long run than losing that project.
- How long does an assessment take?
- It depends on the size of the process, but for a mid-sized operation it's usually a couple of weeks between interviews, reviewing what exists and writing it up. What can't be done is fitting it into a one-hour meeting.
- Can you run a project delivered by another supplier?
- Yes, and sometimes it's the healthier arrangement: whoever runs it isn't the one billing development hours. It's worth defining the scope of that role up front so it doesn't become another layer of meetings.
How it starts
With a free assessment that produces a written scope. By then it's clear whether development is needed, whether configuring something you already own is enough, or whether the problem wasn't software at all.
That last conclusion is more common than it sounds, and it's the one no supplier who only sells development will ever give you.
