A two-week forensic analysis that identifies why your product and engineering teams can't deliver on commitments—then gives you the blueprint to fix it.
You already know something's broken. Sprint commitments keep slipping, releases keep getting delayed, and the obvious fixes haven't worked. This diagnostic combines meeting observation, communication analysis, work system investigation, data analysis, and team interviews to find the root causes invisible from inside your organization.
Meeting Observation I attend your sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and other relevant meetings. I'm looking for patterns in decision-making, communication breakdowns, and gaps between what's being said and what's actually happening.
Communication Analysis I analyze your team's actual communication patterns—code review comments, Slack channels, work management threads. Not to judge individuals, but to identify systemic issues: where teams get blocked without speaking up, where information doesn't flow, where friction appears.
Work Management System Investigation I investigate your Jira, Linear, or whatever system you use to track work. I'm analyzing how work actually flows versus how it's supposed to flow—ticket aging, cycle time patterns, bottlenecks, where work gets stuck and why.
Data Analysis I analyze your actual metrics:
Team Interviews I conduct 30-60 minute individual conversations with engineers, designers, PMs, and QA. These reveal the gap between what people say in meetings and what they actually experience, and surface unspoken problems that don't appear in metrics.
I synthesize everything into a comprehensive written report identifying the root causes of your delivery failures, what's actually broken in team dynamics and processes, specific data showing the patterns, and a step-by-step blueprint for getting back on track.
