Ship on time without hiring a full-time PM.
In 30 days we set up the delivery system your team is missing: a rhythm people keep, a tracker you can trust, and AI-assisted reporting that takes minutes instead of hours.
Sound familiar?
Most small engineering teams don't have a project manager. The work still exists. Someone just does it at night.
Sprints slip and nobody knows why
Work starts, scope grows and the release date moves. Again.
The tracker is out of date
Jira or Linear says one thing, Slack says another, and the truth lives in someone's head.
Risks show up too late
Blockers and dependencies surface the week they hurt, not the week they could be fixed.
Your best engineer is doing PM work
Status updates, follow-ups and stakeholder questions eat the hours you hired them to code.
The 30-day setup
A fixed scope, a fixed price and a clear finish line. We work inside your existing tools, alongside your team.
Diagnose
We review your tracker, rituals and release history, and pinpoint where delivery breaks down.
Set the rhythm
Planning, standups and reviews right-sized for your team. Tracker cleaned up, with clear owners.
Automate reporting
AI-assisted status reports, standup summaries and a risk log that stays current with little effort.
Hand off
Templates, a playbook and a walkthrough with your team, so it runs without us.
What AI-assisted delivery looks like
AI does the heavy lifting. Your team stays in control, and every update is reviewed by a person before it goes out.
BeforeFriday status update
- An engineer chases tickets and Slack threads
- The update is late, long or skipped
- Leadership still asks "are we on track?"
AfterFriday status update
- A draft is generated from your tracker and recent activity
- The lead reviews and edits it, then sends
- Risks and decisions are called out at the top
BeforeRisks and dependencies
- Kept in people's heads
- Discovered when something breaks
AfterRisks and dependencies
- A living risk log with an owner and due date for each item
- Flagged weekly before they become blockers

Questions
Do you replace a project manager?
For many teams of 5–20, yes. You get the systems and support of a PM without a full-time hire. If you plan to hire a PM later, we'll leave them a working setup to inherit.
Which tools do you work with?
Jira, Linear and Azure DevOps for tracking, plus your existing chat and docs tools. We work inside what you already use.
How do you handle our data?
We work inside your accounts and only use AI tools your team approves. Nothing from your tracker or docs is shared outside your organization.
How much of our team's time does it take?
About one 45-minute kickoff, a short weekly check-in, and the team's normal rituals. We do the setup work.
What happens after 30 days?
You keep everything we built. Many teams continue with ongoing support so the rhythm doesn't slip, but there's no lock-in.
