How It Works

While every engagement is completely customized to your needs, the process itself is simple and repeatable. Four steps:

1Assess
A focused assessment that pinpoints exactly where team alignment and delivery are breaking down, and why.
2Prescribe
We hand back a specific, plain-language plan: what's broken, what to fix first, what it will look like when it's working.
3Coach
We embed with the team and coach the fix in real time. No report and leave you with the mess to fix yourself.
4Sustain
We ensure your team is self-sufficient, but we’re there in a lightweight inspect-and-adapt cadence so improvement continues after we've stepped back.

Free Delivery Assessment

Some agile consultants give the whole field a bad name by trying to force the same square peg into every hole. We measure where you currently stand across 33 distinct capabilities that we've found to correlate with high-performing organizations. Sketch’s analysis identifies the best points of entry for improvement, allowing all of us to hit the ground running with the right focus and objectives.

Our consulting programs drive you toward measurable improvements

Engineers don't want non-technical people telling them how to build software. Sketch builds world-class digital products for some of the most successful enterprises out there, so we're speaking from experience and teaching what really works, not just a set of rules.

Common Delivery Problems (And How We Solve Them)

These are some of the most common reasons clients reach out to us for agile consulting services:

Poor Team Performance
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Teams miss commitments and struggle to plan realistically. Leaders don't trust the teams' delivery timelines. Work is constantly interrupted or reprioritized. "Agile" exists in name only.
WHAT WE DO
We assess how teams work in practice (not how they think they work), then coach them through modern, lightweight delivery practices that improve predictability, quality, and team health. This is hands-on, embedded consulting—not theoretical training.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Team Assessment
  • Team Accelerator Program
  • Modern Ways of Working Training
  • Team Building Workshops
  • Agile Bootcamps
  • Working Agreements Workshops
  • Backlog Management Consulting
  • Tooling Consulting
Unclear Product Direction
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Teams are busy, but they're not delivering meaningful outcomes. There's no shared understanding of priorities or success. Roadmaps feel aspirational instead of achievable. Stakeholders disagree on what matters most.
WHAT WE DO
We help leaders and teams clarify what they're building, why it matters, and how success is measured. This often includes redefining product ownership, improving prioritization, leveraging AI, and creating realistic roadmaps tied to business outcomes.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Product Vision Workshops
  • Roadmapping Workshops
  • Product Owner/Manager Training and Consulting
  • Story Mapping Workshops
  • Backlog Prioritization Workshops
  • Rolling-Horizon Planning and Quarterly Checkpoints
Leadership Vs. Micromanagement
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Leaders feel forced to step into day-to-day execution. There's no clear way to inspect progress without scheduling status meetings. Teams wait for direction instead of owning outcomes.
WHAT WE DO
We help leaders craft clarity, alignment, and accountability without reverting to command-and-control. This includes redefining leadership roles, decision boundaries, and success measures.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Modern Leadership Training
  • Leadership Alignment Workshops
  • Tooling Consulting
  • Leadership Coaching
  • Metrics That Matter Buildout
Growing Pains
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Every team is showing you they're underwater or could accomplish more with more headcount. None of them is wrong, but you've got a limited hiring budget.
WHAT WE DO
Using rolling-horizon planning, we help you step out of today's noise and look forward strictly across capacity windows. We identify the hires that will unlock the most progress—now and next.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Rolling-Horizon Roadmapping
  • Plan-Do-Check-Adapt Capacity Management
  • Cross-Team Planning
Sloppy Handoffs
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Marketing did their part, but now Sales is stuck reworking things. Four teams are waiting on Legal approval. Meanwhile, everyone is waiting on annual goals from the CEO.
WHAT WE DO
We make the work visible across teams and design clearer handoffs so decisions made upstream don't create surprises downstream. We help align teams around what's coming next.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Capacity Management
  • Rolling-Horizon Planning
  • Value Stream Mapping
  • Build Feedback Loops
Agile Not Scaling
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Teams operate inconsistently across the organization. Leadership can't see or exploit the impact of process on delivery. Discipline backslides after initial transformation efforts.
WHAT WE DO
We help large organizations institutionalize agile practices through lightweight models, Communities of Practice, shared metrics, and ongoing coaching.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Enterprise Agile Assessment
  • Operating Model Roadmapping
  • Community of Practice (CoP) Design & Leadership
  • Continuous Growth Consulting
Unproductive Operating Model
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Between projects, products, and platforms, the teams are confused. Product Managers lack the authority or clarity to deliver on the products they own. Business and IT operate on different planning cadences.
WHAT WE DO
We work with leadership to define and roll out a coherent, product operating model. We clarify roles, funding, governance, and decision-making so product teams operate with autonomy.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Product Operating Model Design
  • Enterprise Product Management (EPM) Rollout
  • Capability Mapping & User Group Design
  • Product Health & Outcome Metrics
Unclear, Politicized Priorities
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Too many initiatives competing for the same people. The annual plan is out of date within weeks. There's no shared mechanism for evaluating tradeoffs. Leaders disagree on 'highest value'.
WHAT WE DO
We help organizations move from static annual planning to adaptive portfolio management using shared criteria, clear metrics, and frequent recalibration.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) Consulting
  • Portfolio Assessments
  • Rolling Horizon Planning
  • Executive Alignment Facilitation
Stalled Transformation Losing Trust
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Previous transformation attempts have failed or plateaued. Teams are fatigued or cynical. Executives want results, not another framework.
WHAT WE DO
We reset stalled transformations by diagnosing reality, narrowing focus, and embedding alongside teams to produce visible, measurable progress.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Transformation Assessment
  • Embedded Coaching and Facilitation
  • Team Accelerator Programs
  • Continuous Growth Consulting
"By The Book" Agile Not A Fit
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Years ago, you got some Agile training on SDLC, user stories, and Scrum. Your platform, data, and support teams have no idea how to use that framework for their workflows.
WHAT WE DO
We help non-development teams adopt agile principles without pretending they're software teams, replacing rigid frameworks with lightweight planning and predictable delivery.
HOW WE DO IT
  • Workflow Mapping Workshops
  • Kanban Training
  • Build Tooling to Visualize Workload
  • Inspect and Adapt Cadence
