01 / Sound familiar?

The problems we're called in for

Six situations we see again and again. Pick the one that sounds like you.

Problem 01 / 06

Delivery is drifting and nobody can say exactly why

Plans, reports and reality have drifted apart. You need an independent read and a plan you can act on.

Problem 03 / 06

The scope is a document nobody fully agrees on

The backlog has grown faster than its quality, or the BRD raises more questions than it answers.

Problem 04 / 06

There's an idea, but no shared picture of it yet

Before you fund a build, you want a tested direction and an outline backlog, not more slides.

  1. Map the problem and agree the long-term goal
  2. Sketch, decide and build a realistic prototype
  3. Test it with five users; leave with an outline backlog

Problem 05 / 06

Agile at scale isn't sticking

Teams run the ceremonies, but planning, dependencies and reporting still fight each other.

  1. An honest assessment of teams, leadership and flow
  2. Coaching, SAFe events and training where they pay off
  3. Dashboards that show progress as it really is

Problem 06 / 06

Your master-data programme has unclear rules

Attributes, ownership and workflows are disputed, and the ERP-to-eCommerce flow keeps breaking.

02 / Why SimplyAgile

Senior people, a company behind them

Why / SimplyAgile

Named senior people from week one, with a company that owns the quality of the work.

Unlike large consultancies, there's no long ramp-up and no juniors behind a senior name. Unlike solo contractors, a company stands behind the work.

Honest about fit

If a role isn't one of ours, we say so before you spend any time on it.

Large consultancies

Long ramp-ups

Senior names on the proposal, junior people on the work, and weeks before anything moves.

Solo contractors

One person, no back-up

You get an individual. Nobody behind them owns the quality of what they deliver.

SimplyAgile

Senior from day one

You interview the person who will do the work. They join remotely on your tools and cadence, and the company stands behind them.

08 / Questions

Before you ask

Anything else? Ask us directly. We reply within one working day.

Do you only work remotely?

Yes, remote is how we work: we join on your working day, in your tools. On longer engagements, onsite visits for planning events or kick-offs can be arranged.

How quickly can someone start?

You can meet the consultant within 48 hours of telling us the role, and they can start on seven days' notice.

How long are your contracts?

Typically three to six months or longer. We also run short fixed-scope offers when you need a faster, defined outcome.

Do you work with recruiters and agencies?

Yes, and gladly. Much of our work comes through recruiters, agencies and consulting partners. Send the role and we reply within one working day.

Can we hire a small team?

Yes. Two or three of our consultants can work on one programme, for example a delivery lead, a Scrum Master or BA, and an enterprise architect.

Do you place permanent staff?

No. We work on contract or fixed-term terms only: B2B through SimplyAgile, through your agency, an umbrella company or an employer of record.

Which currencies do you invoice in?

Your currency: GBP, EUR, USD, ZAR or others. Monthly on longer contracts, or by milestone on defined engagements. Rates are quoted after a short call; we don't publish them.
