Engagement patterns
A clear starting point, adapted to the real constraint
These patterns describe ways an engagement can be structured. Client stories are published separately only with permission and verified facts.
Create01
New product or internal platform
Move from an important workflow or product idea to a usable first release without pretending every requirement is known on day one.
A good fit when
- A manual workflow needs a dependable digital home
- A product idea needs discovery before a larger investment
- Several systems need one clear user experience
Working shape
A focused discovery establishes users, constraints and the smallest useful release. Design, architecture and engineering then progress in reviewed increments.
Useful handover evidence
- ✓ Decision and architecture records
- ✓ Tested source in an accessible repository
- ✓ Deployment and operating guidance
Modernize02
Cloud and delivery improvement
Reduce deployment and operating risk around an existing application through measured, reversible changes.
A good fit when
- Releases depend on fragile manual steps
- Hosting, recovery or cost ownership is unclear
- A migration must preserve a live business service
Working shape
The current delivery path and workload dependencies are mapped first. A representative change or migration wave proves the approach before it expands.
Useful handover evidence
- ✓ Risk-prioritized improvement plan
- ✓ Versioned infrastructure and delivery automation
- ✓ Monitoring, recovery and ownership runbooks
Strengthen03
Security, quality and resilience
Turn broad concerns about security or release quality into evidence-backed engineering work with named priorities.
A good fit when
- Recurring defects undermine release confidence
- Security findings need practical remediation
- Backup, recovery or incident procedures are untested
Working shape
Scope and consequences are agreed before assessment. Findings include evidence and remediation direction; agreed changes are verified rather than merely reported.
Useful handover evidence
- ✓ Evidence-backed findings and priorities
- ✓ Implemented controls or automated checks
- ✓ Retest results and remaining-risk record
