//THE ROUTE

Project management that ships projects, not status reports.

PMO setup. Project recovery. Senior PM capacity on demand.

For B2B teams whose projects are slipping, scope is creeping, and the status meetings have stopped having status. We bring senior project execution (embedded, advisory, or full PMO setup) without forcing you to hire a permanent VP of Ops.

// SIGNS YOU ARE IN THE WRONG TRAIL

Projects don't fail at the end. They fail in the middle.

Six symptoms that show the project execution layer is broken, usually months before anyone calls it.

SIGN 01

Deadlines are negotiable.

Late project shipping. The team's stopped flagging it because nobody acts on the warning. Slippage has become the default.

SIGN 04

Dependencies surface late.

"We can't ship until legal reviews this." Said in week 11 of 12. The dependency was always there, nobody mapped it.

SIGN 02

Scope creeps. Nobody resists.

"Can we just add..." becomes a daily request. There's no change-order process. The original scope is unrecognizable by month 3.

SIGN 05

PMs wear too many hats.

Your "project manager" is also doing analyst work, BD, vendor management, and writing the QBR. They run projects part-time at best.

SIGN 03

Status meetings without status.

45 minutes. Everyone updates. No decisions get made. The same risks are flagged for the third week running.

SIGN 06

Leadership has no portfolio view.

Asked "what's the status of our top 5 projects?", the CEO gets 5 different answers. There's no portfolio dashboard.

// HOW WE ENGAGE

Three ways we plug into your project work.

Pick the mode that matches your moment. You can also combine them across engagements.

MODE 01

PMO Setup

Build the practice from scratch.

For teams running 5+ concurrent projects without a unified system. We build the governance, intake, reporting, and tools your PMs need to scale.

YOU GET

  • Governance framework

  • Project intake & prioritization process

  • Reporting cadence & dashboards

  • Templates, SOPs, training materials

APROX. DURATION 2-6 WEEKS

DEPENDS ON COMPLEXITY

MODE 02

Project Recovery

Rescue what's already off-track.

For projects in trouble: missed milestones, scope unclear, stakeholder confidence lost. We come in fast, diagnose, reset, and lead until the project's stable.

YOU GET

  • Rapid diagnostic (1-week)

  • Recovery plan with reset milestones

  • Stakeholder confidence reset

  • Embedded leadership until stable

APROX. DURATION 4-12 WEEKS
DEPENDS ON COMPLEXITY

MODE 02

Embedded PM

Senior PM capacity without the hire.

For projects that need experienced PM leadership but don't justify a permanent senior hire. We run your project end-to-end as part of your team.

YOU GET

  • Senior PM running your project

  • Weekly leadership reporting

  • Stakeholder & vendor management

  • Optional team upskilling

APROX. DURATION 
DEPENDS ON PROJECT LENGTH

// WHAT WE BUILD

Artifacts your team owns after we leave.

Concrete deliverables built into your tools (Smartsheet, Asana, MS Project, Monday.com)  not consultant decks that die in shared drives.

01

PMO governance framework

Roles, RACIs, decision rights, escalation paths. Who owns what, who approves what, when leadership gets involved.

03

Stakeholder communication framework

Who hears what, when, in what format. Executive briefs, weekly status, stakeholder updates templated and scheduled.

05

Risk & dependency mapping

Live risk register and cross-project dependency map. Surfaces blockers before they hit the critical path.

02

Project intake & prioritization

Structured form for new project requests + scoring rubric. Stops the "everyone wants priority" syndrome before it starts.

04

Project management playbook

Templates for kickoff, charter, status, change orders, closeout. Your PMs run projects the same way every time.

06

Status & portfolio dashboards

Live views by project, portfolio, or owner. Leadership sees red/yellow/green without anyone updating slides on Sundays.

// METHODOLOGY

The 5-phase route to project delivery.

Five phases. Clear deliverables. No surprises mid-climb and a defined exit.

01 / Discovery

Discovery 

Map the terrain

Project audit, stakeholder interviews, risk inventory. Where exactly are we, honestly.

02 / Analysis

Plot the route

Design before you build.

Project charter, scope reset, dependency map, milestone plan with realistic dates.

03 / Build

Make the climb

The actual work.

Execution cadence, weekly reporting, blocker resolution. Leadership stays informed without chasing.

04 / Test

Field test

Before going live.

UAT, stakeholder sign-off, handoff to operations. Train your team on the new cadence.

05 / Optimize

Beyond the summit

After launch.

Retrospective. Documentation. Playbook updates. Your team keeps running after we leave.

// FRAMEWORKS & TOOLS

Pragmatic over religious.

We don't push Agile on every project. We don't push Waterfall on every project. We pick the methodology that matches the work and the team's maturity.

Methodologies we use

  • Waterfall (for fixed scope)

  • Agile-Scrum-Kanban

  • Hybrid

  • Stage-gate (new product dev)

  • PMI/ PMBOK Best practices

PM platforms

  • Microsoft Project / Project online

  • Google Workspace

  • Smartsheet

  • Notion-Coda-Airtable

  • Asana -ClickUp-Monday.com

  • Jira

Reporting & Visibility

  • Smartsheet 

  • Power BI
  • Tableau
  • Microsoft 365
  • Google Workspace
  • Custom Integrations to ERPs/CRMs

STACK-AGNOSTIC · WE WORK WITH WHAT YOUR TEAM ALREADY USES

// CONNECTED ROUTES

Project management is rarely an island.

This route most often connects to:

01

Business Optimization &Automation

The process layer

PMO governance is process design. When projects need automation between systems this is the next route.

02

Strategic Planning

The process layer

Strategic priorities turn into projects. Projects need a PMO. Pair these when execution feels disconnected from strategy

​

02

Data analysis & visualization

The visibility layer

KPIs need dashboards. Leadership needs one source of truth. This is where project data becomes delivery visibility.

// BASE CAMP

Bring your stuck project. We'll find what broke.

30-minute call. Tell us about the project: where it's at, what's broken, what's been tried. We'll diagnose live and tell you which engagement mode fits.
