Catalyst Advisory
Agile Delivery Advisory

Your team was performing well.
Then it drifted.
We know why — and we know how to fix it.

Catalyst Advisory delivers structured agile maturity assessments and the four ready-to-use deliverables your leadership needs — in days, not months.

No retainer required to start. Fixed-fee engagements.

The Situation

High-performing teams drift.
It's predictable — and it's fixable.

The Pattern
The practices that feel good — backlog refinement, stakeholder relationships, product thinking — survive on their own. The practices whose value is felt by others — sprint reviews, velocity tracking, security governance — quietly lapse when external structure is removed. This is not failure. It is entropy.
The Risk
By the time the drift is visible — a missed deadline, a quality incident, a board question nobody can answer — the gap has been growing for months. Without data, there is no early warning signal. Without governance, there is no corrective mechanism.
The Opportunity
A structured assessment surfaces the gap in days. A targeted re-engagement closes it without disrupting delivery. The team does not need to be rebuilt. It needs to be re-anchored.
The Deliverables

Four ready-to-use documents.
Delivered within days of the assessment.

For the Delivery Leader

Delivery Lead Brief

The full operational picture — 25 pages covering section-by-section analysis, root cause, the week-by-week 100-day plan with named owners and success indicators, a complete risk register, and a conversation guide for reintroducing changes to the team.

The Process

Three steps. Done in days.

01

Assessment

The team completes a structured 260-question assessment across 13 sections. You can facilitate it together or have the team lead complete it independently.

02

Context interview

A focused interview with you captures the organizational context, team dynamics, and strategic pressures that the scoring cannot. This is what separates a scorecard from a blueprint.

03

Deliverables + presentation

Four ready-to-use documents generated from the combined data. Presented back to the delivery leader in a structured findings session.
