Business Agility & Agile Transformation
Delivery performance that actually moves. DORA baseline on your own data before any advice, one pilot squad before scale, and engineering managers mentored to run the rollout once we leave.
What you get
- A DORA baseline by week two — lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, MTTR — on your own data, not industry benchmarks.
- A squad structure that maps to the product, not to the org chart.
- Working-rhythm redesign: what the exec sees weekly, what the squad sees daily, and what they stop doing.
- An OKR system that connects to strategy in one page, not a three-level cascade nobody reads.
- A 90-day plan to lift one of the four DORA metrics by a specific amount, with the mechanism named.
How we work
- We instrument before we advise. If the DORA numbers don't exist, week one is setting them up. No recommendations on a squad we can't measure.
- One squad, then scale. Pilot in a product area leadership actually cares about — not the innovation lab.
- We mentor your engineering managers in parallel. They have to run this after we leave, not us.
- If the problem is not agile, we'll say so. Usually it's product ownership, platform debt, or a misaligned incentive — and we'll name which.
Ideal for
- CTOs / VP Engineering whose delivery metrics have plateaued.
- Legacy corporates (FMCG, manufacturing, financial services) trying to make agile work in a world of gated procurement and quarterly budgets.
- Scale-ups crossing 50+ engineers where what worked at 20 has stopped working.
Typical engagement shape
- Duration
- 10–16 weeks
- Team
- 1 principal + 1 senior, embedded with the pilot squad
- Cadence
- Daily with the squad, weekly with CTO/VP Eng
- Starts with
- DORA baseline in the first 2 weeks — no advice before the numbers
- Exit
- Pilot squad hits the named DORA target; internal EMs run the rollout
