A Velocity Audit℠ is a focused, data-informed assessment of your delivery system — how work moves from idea to release. It reveals where friction, waste, or misalignment are slowing your growth.

During the audit, I review your release cadence, workflow, team structure, and key metrics such as lead time, change failure rate, and deployment frequency. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s blocking progress, and what small structural changes would create the biggest performance gains.

You’ll walk away with a clear picture of your current delivery health, a prioritized improvement plan, and a roadmap to make releases predictable and scalable.

The Velocity Audit℠ (Lite) is the first step in implementing the SaaS-IDM℠ on your own.

SaaS-IDM℠ is built for growing SaaS companies that have traction but are feeling the strain of scale.

It’s right for you if:

→ Releases are inconsistent or stressful

→ Your roadmap slips even though your team is talented

→ Communication between engineering, product, and leadership breaks down under pressure

→ Investors are asking for predictability you can’t provide or prove yet

If you’re at the Seed, Series A, or Series B stage and want delivery to become a strategic advantage — not a bottleneck — SaaS-IDM℠ will fit. The model brings the structure, rhythm, and visibility you need to ship reliably and scale confidently.

The simplest test: if delivery is starting to limit growth, you’re ready for SaaS-IDM℠.

You can expect measurable gains in delivery speed and reliability along with increased confidence from your team and your investors.

Within the first 6–10 weeks, most clients see releases become more predictable, communication improves across functions, and delivery friction drops sharply. Over the following months, those improvements compound into faster cycle times, fewer defects, and clearer visibility for leadership and stakeholders.

The outcome isn’t just better releases — it’s a scalable delivery rhythm that restores trust, boosts morale, and gives your company the freedom to focus on innovation and growth.

Yes. Every engagement includes an immersive transition phase to ensure your team can sustain the improvements independently. Ongoing support options are available.

Many clients choose to continue with a lightweight oversight partnership, where I monitor delivery performance, refine processes, and advise leadership as new challenges emerge. This ensures your release system continues to evolve as the company scales — without adding internal overhead.

The goal isn’t dependency; it’s stability. Your satisfaction is my top priority. You’ll always have access to clear structure, a measurable rhythm, and expertise when you need it.

You will experience meaningful impact within 3 weeks and measurable performance gains inside 30 days.

SaaS-IDM℠ doesn’t depend on massive overhauls — it builds from small, incremental momentum that scales fast. I've been doing this work for over 10 years and genuinely love experiencing new and difficult challenges because I know what is on the other side and how to get you there.

Yes. SaaS-IDM℠ isn’t another framework to replace what you have; it’s a model that helps your current practices actually work.

Most teams already have the tools — standups, sprints, pipelines — but they’re often disconnected or overloaded (the teams & the tools). The Integrated Delivery Model℠ puts all the pieces together into a predictable delivery rhythm that restores flow without adding ceremony.

If your team is already Agile, SaaS-IDM℠ will take it beyond theory and make it effective. If your DevOps pipeline exists, SaaS-IDM℠ will make it reliable. It’s all about awareness and alignment, not reinvention.

SaaS-IDM℠ and AI aren’t competitors — you should be using both!

AI can detect bottlenecks, but it can’t persuade a team to change a behavior, negotiate scope with investors, or rebuild confidence after a series of failed releases. AI can automate parts of delivery, but it can’t create the trust, alignment, or accountability that make integrated delivery work.

SaaS-IDM℠ leverages automation where it makes sense — release pipelines, testing, reporting — yet the real challenge isn’t doing the work, it’s deciding what matters, coordinating people, and establishing rhythm. Those are judgment calls rooted in context, not just data.

Yes. Michael was a pretty common name when I was growing up.

In kindergarten, there were 2 other Michaels in my class. Alphabetically, the first one kept Michael and the second accepted Mike. I had been learning simple word combinations, like "My cat." and "My dog." and thought the letter y was fun to write: I wrote My -ke.

My legal name is Michael, spelled the traditional way.
