How I Help Small Teams Ship Faster and Stay Aligned
đĽ What Kind of Teams Benefit Most?
- Size: Small to mid-sized teams (5â50 engineers)
-
Team Composition: Not just devs. My process brings product, design, and engineering into tighter
collaborationâexactly what Agile encourages.
-
Industry/Product Fit: SaaS startups, internal tooling teams, design-heavy products, or AI/ML teams where
iteration and tight feedback loops are key.
đź Whatâs My Business Model?
⨠How I Work
I join small teams directly and help them move the needleâevery day. This isnât abstract consulting. Iâm in the code, in the
conversations, leading from the front.
The starting point is a fixed-scope Team Launch over one week. During that time:
- I embed with the team as a developerâwriting code, reviewing PRs, and clearing blockers.
-
I help establish a tighter, more focused rhythmâless Jira, fewer meetings, more real communication and working software.
- We ship something real.
After that, I offer flexible ongoing support: async advising, embedded team coaching, or hands-on facilitationâwhatever best
fits your team.

How I Reduce Risk
I'm currently offering a free week with a few early teams as I refine the model.
You get real valueâprocess feedback, PR review, roadmap clarity.
If it's a fit, we continue. If not, no pressure.
Engagements are always scoped and phased. No long-term commitment required. Youâll know what weâre working on and why.
đ How I Stay Aligned
I donât bill hourly and I donât do vague deliverables.
Instead, I scope work around outcome-driven phrases:
âLetâs ship one real feature in the next 10 hours.â
âLetâs reset how design and dev talkâthis week.â
Youâre not buying timeâyouâre buying progress.
đ How I Show Results
My work is grounded in a principle from the Agile Manifesto:
Working software that delivers real value.
Supporting signals:
- Releases shipped post-engagement
- Faster flow from idea â design â code â production
- Clearer ownership and tighter collaboration
- Frequent demos and smaller PRs
- Fewer bugs from miscommunication
I donât just talk process. I help you shipâthen teach your team how to keep shipping without me.
đ Proof in Practice
Iâve helped implement this way of working before:
-
Facilitated tighter loops between design and dev by simplifying handoff processes and introducing live demo culture.
-
One of those efforts led to a team-wide bonus: everyone received an extra month of salary due to the impact we made on
shipping and delivery.
- Teams reported enjoying the workâand each otherâmore as delivery improved and friction decreased.
These early experiences shaped this model. Now Iâm focused on helping more teams put it into practice.
