Review
Your Product, Design and Engineering teams aren’t fully aligned, slowing delivery, impacting quality and morale, and putting customer outcomes at risk. A collaboration review helps uncover what’s getting in the way and how to fix it.
Most delivery problems don't sit solely with product or engineering.
They emerge in the space between, where strategy meets execution, where priorities get interpreted, where assumptions go unchallenged.
A purely technical review misses half the picture.
A high-level product assessment misses the other half.
This review examines both sides of the equation, and critically, the handoffs between them.
That's where most delivery risk, cost, and opportunity actually sit.
Knowing where these problems sit, then allow for a suitable solution to be used to help teams align.
You're not the first organisation to feel these pains…
"Customers are beginning to feel the impact"
"Quality is inconsistent"
"Delivery is slower than expected"
"We're going to lose good people!"
"Priorities aren’t always clear"
"Teams don’t agree on what matters most"
"Morale is starting to dip"
What we look out for
Our Approach
Systems over symptoms.
We focus on why delivery behaves the way it does, tracing problems back to how decisions, incentives, and communication interact across the organisation. Most challenges aren't caused by individual tools or code. They emerge from the system around them.
Strategy and people, not just technology.
This isn't a code review or architecture assessment. We examine how product goals, commercial pressures, team structure, and leadership behaviours shape what engineering can deliver.
Clear, prioritised actions.
You'll receive a small number of high-impact recommendations, focused on changes that will unblock delivery fastest and create lasting improvement. We don't produce 50-item backlogs of nice-to-haves.
Minimal disruption.
We work primarily through one-to-one conversations with key people, supplemented by team discussions where they add value. The audit fits around your delivery, not the other way round.
People like saying nice things about Jon.
What you'll have at the end
Clarity.
You'll finish with a clear understanding of what's working, what's not, and exactly where to focus.
Priority.
You'll know which problems are worth solving now, which can wait, and which aren't really problems at all. The recommendations will be practical, prioritised, and realistic to implement.
Actions.
We document the key findings in a form that's useful to you, whether that's a written summary for your leadership team or a recorded session you can reference later.

Review
The review typically takes 3–4 weeks from first conversation to final recommendations, depending on availability and complexity.
