Layer 1 - Vision and Alignment

  • The business may know where it's heading, but does your Engineering Department? If not we can help you build a Vision and Strategy aligned to your business objectives from 6m -> 24m

  • Is your current Engineering org aligned to business needs? Are you considering moving to a Product-led organisation? We can help build organisation and functional charts that supports you NOW and into the future

  • Does your Engineering team have their own Engineering Roadmap? If not, we can support you to develop one inline with Business OKRs and Product Roadmap to drive change programmes across teams

Layer 2 - Delivery Excellence

  • Is your Engineering organisation using Best Practise for Develop->Build -> Deploy -> Test -> Release? If not, we can help build out your Delivery Processes so everyone knows exactly what to do, when and how

  • Are you working within Agile? Does everyone understand how to work together? Do you know your Definition of Done and Definition of Ready? If not we can support Product, Design, Engineering AND Business Stakeholders, in how to work within Agile and how (and why) to organise Agile ceremonies

  • Do you have stable AND understood Incident Management and Bug Triage processes? Sometimes the worst happens, knowing what to do and when is vital for any Engineering Organisation, we can help build policies, procedures and implement tooling

Layer 3 - Technical Depth

  • Do you know how you are approaching Performance and Reliability across your application(s)? Are you moving from monolith to micro-services and worried about performance bottlenecks? We can help by de-risking your launch with our dedicated Performance Engineering team

  • Testing, release and deploy can be hard - especially if you have tech debt and teams driving new features over fixing issues. We can help by defining policies and procedures by which teams can deliver without stress, including your Testing Strategy and Approach to ensure a risk-based approach to testing

Layer 4 - Measurement and Metrics

  • What and how do you measure today? Perhaps you've already started with some basic DORA metrics, perhaps you have nothing in place. We can help build reporting tools, metrics and dashboards that matter to YOUR business

  • Does every Engineer have a growth plan? Do you have a competency framework across your department? Do you have clearly defined Roles and Responsibilities and clear Job Descriptions? We can help build these inline with your company ethos

  • Do you know how to measure performance and capability of your ICs, Leads and Managers? We help you implement ongoing feedback tools and approaches to ensure continual feedback throughout the year, not just at performance review time

Layer 5 - Advanced topics

  • Teams that play together, work well together - We can organise Hackathons and Bug Bash events, and support you in ongoing team building events

  • We offer Delivery Management support for Product led teams; from Agile workshops (Scrum, Scrumban, Kanban, Shape-up), to tooling support using Jira we can cover it all. How to work within an Agile framework, expectations and roles and responsibilities, and how Product. Design and Engineering work in sync

  • 1:1 Line Management support is vital for team members, whether it's a 1 person team or 1000 humans, everyone needs dedicated support and we have our Engineering Leadership team on hand to help.

  • We also offer one-off or ongoing Training and Mentoring for new or existing Line Managers, Leads and ICs across your Engineering department
