What it is
Predictable Delivery is a consulting product for VPs of Engineering, CTOs, and engineering managers running teams of 5–50 developers. We diagnose what's breaking in your delivery operation — sprint planning, estimation, prioritization, on-call, technical debt — and we install the systems and rituals that turn chaos into commitments your business can plan around. We don't replace your team. We make your team predictable.
Who it's for
- VPs of Engineering whose CEOs ask "why didn't this ship?" more than once a month.
- CTOs of multi-location service businesses (5–50 units) where engineering blocks operations.
- Engineering managers inheriting teams with no estimation discipline, no sprint hygiene, and no idea what shipping in 6 weeks looks like.
Outcomes
- 90%+ commitments met. Sprint after sprint. We measure it, we report it, we make it the team's KPI.
- Firefighting reduced by 60%. Less interrupt-driven engineering. More planned work shipping on time.
- 100% delivery visibility. Every stakeholder — CEO, sales, ops — knows what's shipping when. No more Slack pings asking "is this done?".
- Sustainable engineering pace, 2x. Teams ship more without burning out. Hours go down, throughput goes up.
How we work
We follow a four-phase methodology — Assess, Design, Implement, Optimize. The first 30 days are diagnosis: we sit in your standups, your retros, your planning sessions, and we map what's breaking. Then we install the system — definition of done, sprint cadence, estimation rituals, stakeholder contracts. Then we hold the team to it for 90 days, measuring weekly. Then we hand it back to you with the playbook, so the discipline survives without us.
