Technical project leadership for engineering programs
Schedule management, stakeholder coordination, technical decision tracking, and risk management. Keep your engineering program on track with clear visibility and documented progress.
Request engineering supportProblems we solve
Engineering programs often lack the project management discipline needed to stay on track. Technical teams focus on solving problems, but tracking, communication, and documentation fall behind.
- Engineering program lacks dedicated project management
- Technical decisions aren't tracked or documented
- Stakeholders receive inconsistent status updates
- Risks are identified too late to mitigate effectively
- Action items fall through the cracks between meetings
- Schedule slips go unnoticed until milestones are missed
- No single source of truth for project status
What you receive
Documented outputs that keep your program organized and stakeholders informed.
Project schedules
Gantt charts with dependencies, milestones, and resource assignments
Risk registers
Identified risks with likelihood, impact scores, and mitigation plans
Decision logs
Technical decisions documented with rationale and stakeholder sign-off
Status reports
Weekly or bi-weekly summaries with progress, blockers, and next steps
Meeting minutes
Documented discussions, decisions, and assigned action items
Action item tracking
Centralized log with owners, due dates, and completion status
Our approach
A structured framework that brings clarity and accountability to engineering programs.
Baseline
Establish project scope, timeline, and success criteria. Create initial schedule and identify key stakeholders.
Execute
Drive task completion, facilitate technical reviews, and coordinate between teams and disciplines.
Monitor
Track progress against plan, identify variances early, and maintain risk and action item logs.
Report
Deliver regular status updates, escalate issues promptly, and document decisions for traceability.
Tools we use
We work with industry-standard project management tools. If you have existing systems in place, we'll adapt to your environment rather than requiring new platforms.
Our approach focuses on the discipline and rigor of project management, not specific software. The tools support the process, not the other way around.

Electric Vehicle Battery Enclosure Program
Scope
Technical project leadership for a 12-month development program with cross-functional team of 15 engineers across mechanical, thermal, and electrical disciplines.
Outcome
Delivered on-time with full design validation. Maintained decision log with 140+ tracked items and zero scope disputes.
Industrial Automation Equipment Launch
Scope
Program management for custom automation cell from concept through installation, coordinating with customer engineering, suppliers, and internal design team.
Outcome
Achieved customer sign-off on first commissioning attempt. Weekly status reports cited as model for future programs.
Common questions
Do you replace our internal project managers?
Not necessarily. We can augment your existing PM team with technical project leadership, or provide full project management for programs that lack dedicated resources.
What size programs can you manage?
We typically work with programs ranging from 3-person teams over a few months to 20+ person teams over 18 months. The approach scales based on program complexity.
How do you handle distributed teams?
We're experienced with remote and hybrid teams across time zones. We establish clear communication cadences and use shared tools that everyone can access.
Can you work with our existing tools?
Yes. We adapt to your organization's tools and processes rather than requiring new systems. If you're using Jira, we'll use Jira. If you're on MS Project, we'll work there.
What's your approach to technical decision-making?
We facilitate decisions but don't make them unilaterally. Our role is to ensure decisions are documented, stakeholders are aligned, and rationale is captured for future reference.
