From now on, I offer a high level Software project consulting service.
This means that I take a role outside of the in-the-trenches work of your project.
My contribution is to provide guidance and supervision, mostly at the meta level.
Being outside of the in-the-trenches work enables me to keep an overview and really see the whole thing.
E.g, I can help you with the following things:
- Which people/experience/skills you need on your team
- Helping you to become aware of the risks you are really taking when starting a software project. (and therefore hopefully you will assess whether you are really willing and capable to take that risk)
- Helping you to find out whether a software project really solves the problem you are trying to solve with it.
- Helping you to find out what you need to do before starting a software project even makes sense.
- Helping you to explore options when a software project is off-track.
- When involved on a regular basis: Help you to recognize the state and health of your software project.
- …
In many cases my role will be to ask provocative questions that make you think about things you might not have been aware of before.
I am very confident that I can provide a valuable service, because:
- I have 30+ years of experience in software development.
- Experience with leading software projects. Both in my company and outside. With up to 10 people on the team.
- Being directly involved in requirements engineering, and corrected the course of that when needed.
- Extensive psychological knowledge and experience from 17+ years of psychotherapy and other activities.
- Highly trained intuition when it comes to software projects. Including the human aspects of it.
- …
My hourly rate for this service is US$ 200. (I may rise that fee later. So engage me while I am still at this level.)
We can do the consulting via Skype or on-site.
For on-site consulting you’ll also pay for travel cost and travel time.
All consulting has to be paid in advance.
