Delivery Health Check: Find Out Why Your Project Is Stuck

Your project is late, over budget or going in circles. In one week I review the plan, the backlog and how the team works, and tell you what is actually blocking delivery and what to fix first.

What the review covers

In scopeOut of scope
One project or product, and the team delivering itSeveral unrelated projects in one review
Backlog, roadmap, estimates and release historyA code audit or security review
How work is planned, built, tested and releasedManaging the team during the week
Handoffs between you, the agency or freelancers, and the developersLegal or contract disputes with a supplier

What I need from you

The week starts once I have these:

  • Read access to the backlog or task board (Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Linear or similar)
  • The current plan, proposal or statement of work, and any estimates given
  • 30 minutes each with two or three people doing the work
  • One named contact who can answer questions during the week

Founding-client rate

The standard fee is $1,000. For my first three Health Check clients it is $500, in exchange for a short testimonial and permission to publish an anonymized summary. Paid in full before the week starts, invoiced in USD.

When a Health Check is the wrong choice

  • Nothing has been built yet. There is nothing to review. A Build Readiness Sprint fits better.
  • You have already decided to end the contract. A review will not change that. Spend the money on planning the handover.
  • The team cannot give access or time. Without the backlog and a few conversations, the findings would be guesses.
  • You need someone to run delivery, not review it. See Interim PM, Delivery Lead and Scrum Master.

For the kind of judgment a review applies, see how a payment migration was planned and rolled out in the payment gateway migration case study.
