Access and boundary setting
We define read-only CI access, which product line is in scope, and which environments stay out of bounds. You leave with a written engagement charter.
Delivery lanes
A clear sequence for CI/CD consulting work so your team knows what happens each week and who owns the follow-through.
Delivery lanes describe how we move from first conversation to a ranked backlog your engineers can execute. The model fits pipeline audits and supporting consultations alike.
Sampling week
We sample recent failures, timing histograms, and cache hit rates, then interview one release engineer and one platform owner about known pain.
Severity map
Findings land in a shared board grouped by merge friction, promotion risk, and cost. Each item names an owner and a first experiment, not a vague recommendation.
Readout and handoff
A live workshop walks through the ranked backlog. Optional coaching weeks help your platform group land the first two changes without becoming a ticket queue.
