In many cases, a second unbiased opinion from an expert or a timely professional advice can give a new life to a failing software project. We offer a range of consulting services that help you identify and resolve potential and current project issues.
Our Approach
All engagements are strictly confidential.
Initial set of consultations is performed at $0/hr rate + travel expenses. We will only offer you a contract if we are confident that we can help and you see the value in our services.
Different issues require different level of authority for addressing them. We can assist you with some issues, but many of them can be beyond of our control.
Failed projects deserve a comprehensive assessment in order to avoid the same problems in the future.
