Technology
The largest share of my written-up work. Software companies, platform teams and outsourcers — where the problem is rarely building, and usually deciding what to build, pricing it honestly, and keeping delivery predictable as the company outgrows its processes.
What I do here
- Delivery structure
- Turning ad-hoc releases into a rhythm the business can plan around, without burying the team in process it did not ask for.
- Scaling frameworks
- SAFe, LeSS or Nexus where they genuinely fit — and a plain backlog where they do not. The framework serves the team, not the other way round.
- AI capability
- Adding AI to the product or the workflow in a way that survives the first model change and does not become one person’s side project.
What changes
- Release dates that hold often enough to be worth committing to
- Scope decisions made against evidence rather than the loudest stakeholder
- A team that can absorb new people without slowing down
- Technical debt visible on the roadmap instead of only in retrospectives
