From $2,000/quarter · Subscription
Fractional Delivery Advisor
A senior peer. Fortnightly. Ongoing.
Fortnightly strategic advisory for the delivery leader. Velocity trend review, risk register updates, sprint review attendance, and support navigating escalations. Not a coach. Not a project manager. A senior delivery peer who has seen this before.
From $3,000/month · Ongoing retainer
Team Capability Program
Make the engagement unnecessary.
A structured six-week program that trains the team's leads to facilitate their own ceremonies, maintain their own Definition of Done, and interpret their own metrics. Designed to build the internal capability that removes the need for ongoing external advisory. That confidence is a strong sales signal.
From $5,000 · Fixed fee · Six weeks
A note on pricing
All fees are fixed, not time-and-materials. You know the cost before the engagement begins. Scope adjustments are discussed before work starts, not billed afterward.
The Agile Maturity Assessment is the right starting point for almost every organization. It is the lowest-risk way to understand what Catalyst Advisory can do before committing to a longer engagement.
All pricing is indicative and scope-dependent. Contact Scott to discuss your specific situation.
