Work with the person doing the work
You’ll work with Chris from the first conversation to the release, with no account manager in between. Clear scope, practical decisions and something concrete to test.
- 01
Understand the job
Start with the people, systems and task that need attention.
- 02
Build something you can try
Agree the scope, then share working progress early rather than a big reveal at the end.
- 03
Check it, put it to work
Review the real workflow, agree the release and plan the handover.
- 04
Keep it running
Watch performance and errors, keep it maintained, and improve it as the business changes.
