Behind schedule, over budget and still in the dark?

If delivery feels off but you can’t quite pinpoint why, you’re not alone.
These warning signs might feel familiar.

Your warning signs

  • Why is this project constantly being rebased-lined and never know why?
  • RAG reports tell me nothing. I always find out too late
  • We’re three months in and still no working software
  • It’s supposed to be Agile, but sprints are dragging beyond four weeks
  • Testing keeps throwing up blockers late and delaying our go-live
  • Security is flagging risks. Costs are overrunning.Benefits are shrinking
  • The supplier seems more focused on their tech than delivering the service
  • I suspect bad decisions are compounding technical constraints but I can’t prove it

We help you:

  • Pinpoint what’s slowing delivery – technically, operationally and culturally
  • Find and fix blockers, fast, with remediation plans to build confidence
  • Improve reporting so you see real issues early, not when it’s too late
  • Decide whether to continue, pivot or walk away, based on evidence
  • Improve test strategy, automation and pipeline quality to derisk delivery
