How the planning service works
We help to scope the needs of the team, understand existing skills, tools and processes and set clear objectives, milestones and deliverables for the project. We work transparently and in an agile way with clients so you can follow progress and reprioritise work as the requirements become clearer. We are tool and provider agnostic, so provide independent advice rooted in user needs and an understanding of the wider landscape you operate in.
