Project and Team Leadership

After the design phase was all but skipped, what later started as a handful of subtle problems soon escalated into a major refactoring and redesign effort. Key software components were not interacting properly and key business logic was not correct. Tempers flared, managers were fired, and the project was declared an unmitigated disaster. The focus is now on picking up the pieces and getting the project back on track.

Although this situation may seem rare, the fact is that it happens all the time. We know because we see it first hand. Prolifogy has the experience, know-how, and steadfast leadership to turn around failed projects successfully. Through objective fact-finding, root cause analysis, forensics and candid communication with the team, Prolifogy can help your organization lift a failed project from the depths and set it on a course to realizing its full potential.

The technical lead for your organization’s most critical software development project has left the company. There are also no available qualified internal replacement candidates. You need a solid replacement to hit the ground running right now to keep your project on track without turning everything upside down. You need leadership willing to keep what works and gently help improve what doesn’t.

Leadership can mean the difference between success and failure, which is why you need software experts at the helm of your software project. Good leaders inspire confidence among those they lead while allowing the team’s great talent to produce equally great work. Prolifogy can offer a hand for as long as needed, in a dedicated management role or as a supplement to existing project leadership.

Your division merging with another company, which has your developers, team leads, and project managers all apprehensive. Your mandate is to realize synergies by creating new teams from existing ones. Your existing leadership cannot act in the best interests of your company due to obvious job biases. You need an outside perspective to objectively evaluate project assets and recommend quality post-merger solutions.

Company stakeholders want a successful merger, and there is no better assurance of technical success than to tap into the brainpower of Prolifogy’s industry leading experts. We can objectively assess team and project assets and put together a plan that meets the merger objectives. We have the credentials and experience to satisfy company stakeholders while working amidst the various realities of mergers.

Your management cannot agree with a business partner on the right direction for an upcoming high-visibility project collaboration. The topics of contention are many, ranging from architecture to implementation details. Each contributor is advocating the use of approaches and tools they’re personally used to working with—not necessarily the ones that will produce the best result. Everyone understands this, but nobody is willing to give ground. All efforts toward resolution have so far failed.

Prolifogy experts are authorities on software technology and best practices. We can listen to concerns, present facts, share experiences, mediate discussions, and make recommendations using our objective analysis techniques. We can help lead decision-makers toward productive and sensible solutions, in either formal or informal settings.
