Shorts · Fractional CTO
Technical leadership, sized to where you are.
Thirty seconds on good developers pulling different ways, and who takes the tiller.
What the short says
- Three good developers, all rowing hard.
- Each pulls a different way, so the boat goes round in circles.
- And a full-time technical director is a hire you’re not ready for.
- We take the tiller two days a month, and set one direction.
- Each big technical decision gets written down, with a reason.
- The oars pull together, and the boat gets somewhere.
- We are Subversive. Technical leadership, sized to where you are.
The problem
What goes wrong
Three good developers, all rowing hard, each pulling a different way, so the boat goes round in circles. And a full-time technical director is a hire you’re not ready for.
What we do
How we fix it
We take the tiller two days a month and set one direction. Each big technical decision gets written down, with a reason, so the oars pull together and the boat gets somewhere.
What you get
One direction
Set with you, and clear to the whole team.
Decisions written down
Each big one, with its reason.
Two days a month
Technical leadership, without a full-time hire.
Oars pulling together
Your developers working to the same plan.
How we start
Start with a day.
A workshop or a discovery day, and you keep the written notes whatever you decide next.
Then a first piece of work. Or keep us on: three months to begin, then month by month.
We quote for the job, once we know what it is.
A larger organisation? Start here.
On your own? Your first hour is free.
