Fractional PMO & program leadership for teams that need to execute, not just plan.
Start here.
Most organizations know something is off before they can name it. Timelines slip. Priorities shift. Execution is inconsistent. But committing to an ongoing engagement before you understand the real problem is the wrong move — for both of us.
The Honesty Audit is how we start.
In one or two focused weeks, we assess your delivery systems, identify the real gaps, and give you a clear picture of what needs to change and in what order. No softened findings. No sales pitch disguised as analysis. Just a direct, senior-level read on where you are and what it will take to get where you need to be.
The deliverable is The Findings — a structured brief covering areas for improvement, a recommended plan, and if it's the right fit, a proposed engagement scope.
Focused Findings
One priority area
A targeted assessment of your most urgent delivery challenge — with a direct, senior-level read and a clear recommended path forward.
Full Findings
End-to-end assessment
A comprehensive look across your delivery systems, portfolio, and operating model — covering what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change in what order.
What We Do
Every engagement is scoped to your situation. We don't sell packages — we match the work to what you actually need.
Strategic oversight and executive advising for organizations that need senior delivery leadership without a full-time hire.
What changes for you
When to bring us in
Your organization is scaling faster than your delivery infrastructure can support. Decisions are taking too long. You need a senior voice without the commitment of a full-time PMO leader.
"Most delivery problems aren't execution problems — they're clarity problems."
In practice
At Microsoft, Janessa was engaged to bring delivery clarity to two concurrent developer support programs for Windows Phone and Surface — establishing QA processes and metrics dashboards that standardized how both programs operated. No full-time role. Measurable results.
Active PMO and delivery leadership embedded with your team on a structured, recurring basis.
What changes for you
When to bring us in
Your team is executing inconsistently. Projects slip. Priorities shift without warning. You don't have clear visibility into what's in flight. You need more structure but aren't ready for a full-time PMO leader.
"The right delivery infrastructure doesn't add overhead — it removes it."
In practice
At The Home Depot, Janessa consolidated three legacy reporting sources and nine manual reports into a single automated executive dashboard — eliminating 20+ hours of monthly manual effort and giving senior leadership real-time portfolio visibility for the first time. The system kept running after she moved on.
Deep operational partnership with your team. This is transformation leadership — inside your organization, not observing from outside it.
What changes for you
When to bring us in
Your organization is undergoing significant transformation. Initiatives have stalled. You're rolling out Agile and it isn't taking. You need to operationalize AI. You're building a PMO from scratch and need someone in the room who's done it before.
"Transformation fails when it's designed from the outside and handed over."
In practice
At The Home Depot, Janessa led an enterprise-wide Agile transformation — taking product management best practice adoption from 0% to 80% across a 1,500-person organization, while scaling a delivery certification program from 500 to 1,500+ practitioners. At AWS, she governed three concurrent $25M+ program portfolios, building the infrastructure that unlocked 14 new global markets.
Our Approach
Every engagement follows the same pattern: understand the real problem, build something that works, make sure you can run it without us.
Assess
We start with your current state: what's working, what's blocking, what's at risk. No assumptions. No pre-packaged answers.
Build
We embed with your team and build the systems, cadences, and tools that create delivery clarity. We're in the work with you — not observing from the outside.
Transfer
Everything we build is designed to work without us. We document, we train, we hand off — and we leave your team more capable than we found it.
We begin with a focused discovery session — no lengthy procurement, no extended contract terms for most engagements.
