Problem
Delivery drifts when no one owns the plan. Scope grows without anyone deciding to grow it, dates slip without warning, and status reports describe activity rather than progress.
By the time a problem is visible, the options to fix it have narrowed, and leaders are left approving numbers they cannot test.
Outcomes
- A named owner accountable for delivery, with clear governance and decision rights.
- An agreed scope, schedule and budget, and a baseline to measure against.
- Progress reported against the plan, with bad news surfaced early.
- Risks, issues and changes decided deliberately, not discovered late.
- The benefits defined at the start and tracked through to the end.
Scope
In scope
- Programme and project set-up: governance, roles, decision rights and reporting.
- Planning: scope, schedule, cost, resources and a measurable baseline.
- Delivery control: tracking progress, managing change, risk and dependencies.
- Stakeholder and communications management.
- Benefits definition and tracking.
- Closure: handover, benefits review and lessons learned.
Not included
- Building the solution. We plan and govern the work; engineering is delivered by our teams or your own.
- Assurance of regulatory compliance. Your own specialists decide what applies.
Approach
Discovery
We confirm the goals, scope and constraints, agree governance and decision rights, and establish the real starting position, so the programme begins with a clear mandate and a named accountable owner
Delivery Planning
We build the scope, schedule, cost and resource plan, set a baseline to measure against, and agree how risk, change, reporting and benefits will be managed
Build and Test
We run delivery against the baseline, track progress, manage change, risk and dependencies, and report status honestly. Decisions are taken early, while options are still open, and each stage is checked before the next begins
Operational Readiness, Hypercare and Closure
We complete the handover, review the benefits against what was promised, provide extra support as the change beds in, and close the work with lessons recorded and your sign-off

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you take over a programme that is already in trouble?
Yes. We start by establishing the real status, scope and risks, then agree a recovery plan and the governance to deliver it.
What is the difference between a programme and a project here?
A project delivers a defined output. A programme coordinates several related projects to deliver a larger benefit. We run either, and the governance is scaled to fit.
How do you report progress?
Against an agreed baseline, so a report shows whether we are on scope, on schedule and on budget, not just what happened that week.
Do you manage our suppliers as well?
Yes, where that is in scope. We agree roles and handovers with each supplier at the start, so accountability is clear.
Need a credible plan before you commit?
A Discovery Sprint produces a prioritised, costed and delivery-ready roadmap you can plan and govern against.
