Backlog Builder
Bring us a project or a problem; leave with a backlog your team can build.
The problem
You know what the business needs. Turning that into work a development team can actually pick up is a different skill — and it's the step where good ideas most often stall.
What usually exists instead is a slide, a spreadsheet, and a shared understanding that quietly differs depending on who you ask. The build starts anyway, and the gaps surface in testing.
What's included
A short, focused engagement that ends with something concrete in your hands.
-
Discovery with the people who care
Working sessions with your stakeholders to understand the outcome you're after, the constraints around it, and what "done" needs to look like.
-
Epics, stories, and acceptance criteria
The work broken down properly — written so a developer can start without a meeting first, and so you can tell when each piece is genuinely finished.
-
Prioritised and sized
Sequenced by value and dependency, with relative sizing, so the first sprint delivers something people can see rather than groundwork nobody feels.
-
Risks and decisions surfaced early
The assumptions, dependencies, and open questions written down while they're still cheap to answer, rather than discovered mid-build.
-
Then it's your call
We can build it with you, sprint by sprint — or hand the backlog to your own team and step away. Both are fine, and you don't have to decide up front.
What it's not
It isn't a strategy deck, and it isn't a fixed-price implementation quote. The deliverable is a working backlog, in your tooling, written for the people who'll build it.
And it comes with no obligation to use us for the delivery — the backlog is yours either way. We'd rather you have a good plan than an awkward conversation.
Who it's for
Teams with a project that keeps not quite starting, a problem that's clear at the business level but fuzzy at the ticket level, or a backlog that's grown into a list nobody trusts any more.
