Delivery assessment and SDLC audit
Find out exactly why delivery is slow, and what to fix first.
An end-to-end, AI-assisted audit of how your teams plan, build, test and ship software. You get a clear report with prioritised recommendations, and if it doesn't give you three actionable fixes, it's free.
When an assessment makes sense
- You know delivery is slow but not exactly why
- Different people blame different causes
- You're about to invest in tools, hires or a transformation
- A key client is unhappy with dates or quality
- You've grown fast and the process didn't keep up
- You want an independent view before a board or investor review
What we look at
We combine your delivery data with conversations, so the findings reflect how work really flows, not how the process document says it should.
Planning and priorities
Backlog health, how work is sized and prioritised, and how goals reach teams.
Flow and predictability
Cycle time, work in progress, carry-over, blockers and dependencies, analysed with AI-assisted tooling.
Quality and governance
Testing practices, definition of done, release process, risk management and reporting.

Frequently asked questions
What is an SDLC audit?
An SDLC audit reviews each stage of your software development lifecycle, from requirements and planning through development, testing and release, to find where time, quality or predictability is lost. Ours combines delivery data analysis with interviews and ends with prioritised recommendations.
What does the guarantee mean?
If the assessment doesn't give you three actionable fixes, specific changes your teams can make, it's free. We're confident because almost every delivery process has more than three improvements worth making.
What access do you need?
Usually read-only access to your project boards (for example Jira or Azure DevOps), release history and, where relevant, repository metadata, plus time with a handful of team members and leaders. We agree confidentiality terms before we start.
What happens after the assessment?
You can implement the fixes yourselves, or we can help through one of our fixed-scope packages, such as the Digital Delivery Tune-Up. There's no obligation either way.
