5-Day Engineering & Architecture Assessment (90-Day Roadmap) by Daniel Henschel5-Day Engineering & Architecture Assessment (90-Day Roadmap) by Daniel Henschel
Own an asset or are about to, and engineering is opaque?
Funding a scale-up and want to know whether the system survives it?
The CTO left or never existed?
Delivery schedules are moving and nobody can explain why?
The Engineering Assessment gives answers to investors looking at portfolio companies and executives looking at their own engineering team.
What happens
A kickoff to fix your objective and pick the domains. Deep system and repository tour, 4 to 6 interviews across engineering, product and operations.
Analysis and clarifying questions, followed by a draft validation round with the target team.
Report and presentation on day five.
What you get
State of engineering report, 5-10 Pages. Half-page management summary, scope and findings rated by severity and what that means for your objective.
Top 5 risks: Evidence-backed top 5 risks according to target and focus, including mitigation options, cost, and consequences
90 day action plan: Realistic high-level action plan which takes ongoing objectives into account. Support during execution is a separate mandate.
Duration & mode
One calendar week from kickoff, two of those days in calls or on-site. Six domains at standard depth, selected with you at kickoff. Report delivered end of day five.
