Over budget, behind schedule, team has left. We've seen it many times. We step in, assess fast, stabilize, and move things forward.
Deadlines keep moving. The team is always "almost done." Stakeholders have stopped believing the dates.
Money was spent, hours were logged, but the deliverable isn't working or isn't there.
The people who built it left. Knowledge walked out the door. No one wants to own what remains.
Spaghetti architecture, no tests, zero documentation. Everyone's afraid to touch it.
Management has lost faith. Clients are asking questions. The pressure is immense.
Emails go unanswered. Promised deliverables don't arrive. You suspect you've been abandoned.
We look at the codebase, the architecture, the delivery history, and the scope. We interview the remaining team if there is one. We form an honest opinion of what's salvageable and what isn't.
We tell you what's realistic. Not what you want to hear. If the right answer is "rebuild from scratch," we say that. If 80% is salvageable, we tell you that too. Then we propose a path.
Before adding features, we stabilize. We identify the critical paths, add test coverage where it matters, clean up the most dangerous parts of the code, and get the deployment process under control.
Fixed scope. Clear milestones. We cut aggressively what doesn't need to be in the first release. We get something live and working, then iterate.
