What we do
Software process consulting for teams that need better delivery.
Many teams say they are agile, but still suffer from unclear requirements, repeated bugs, weak testing, slow releases, and poor accountability. We help tighten the system.
02
Testing, Quality & AI-Assisted Delivery
Build practical testing workflows — TDD, BDD, acceptance testing, regression checks, and release confidence. Includes frameworks for introducing AI coding agents responsibly within a requirements-driven, traceable process.
03
AI Coding Agent Guardrails
Practical frameworks for teams using AI coding tools — instruction files, review workflows, acceptance criteria, test generation, documentation discipline, and guardrails to keep AI-assisted development aligned with real requirements.
04
Delivery Health Check
A focused diagnostic of your current delivery system — tooling, ticket flow, release process, team handoffs, and roadmap clarity — with a concrete report of gaps and prioritised recommendations.
05
Regulated Delivery Readiness Review
Adapt agile methods for environments where documentation, traceability, risk awareness, and evidence matter — including IEC 62304 and similar compliance frameworks.
06
Agile Coaching & Training
Coaching, workshops, and hands-on training to improve sprint structure, backlog discipline, retrospectives, stakeholder alignment, and the real meaning of “done”.
AI-assisted delivery
AI makes teams faster. Weaker discipline makes that dangerous.
AI coding tools can help teams move faster, but speed without discipline creates risk. More code output means more hidden defects, more undocumented decisions, weaker traceability, and false confidence at release.
We help teams introduce AI into their development workflow without losing control of requirements, testing, documentation, traceability, or release confidence. That is the missing bridge between AI adoption and engineering discipline.
We support teams with
AI coding-agent workflow design
Prompt and instruction file frameworks
Requirements-driven AI development
AI-assisted test generation and review
Approval and review guardrails
Traceability between requirements, code, tests, and documentation
Safe use of AI in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments
Andrew's experience
Led by real regulated-software delivery experience.
Andrew is not a generic agile coach. His background combines product ownership, engineering leadership, test automation, regulated medical software, and large-scale delivery at ResMed.
Senior product and delivery leadership with engineering credibility.
Andrew spent 22 years at ResMed across embedded software engineering, software team leadership, system test automation, agile coaching, product ownership, and software product owner management.
His work covered medical-device software, agile transformation, product roadmaps, quality-system documentation, test automation, CI/CD, stakeholder alignment, and delivery improvement in regulated environments.

Andrew's practical delivery experience
Delivery Process Design
Structuring sprint cadences, ceremonies, and working agreements that teams actually follow — from first sprint to sustained rhythm.
Roadmap & Backlog Structuring
Bringing clarity to priorities, epics, and release goals so stakeholders and engineers are working from the same picture.
Regulated-Environment Quality Systems
IEC 62304-aligned documentation, traceability matrices, and audit-ready processes for medical and other regulated software teams.
Agile Coaching & Team Uplift
Embedding Scrum fundamentals, retrospective discipline, and healthy delivery habits in teams new to agile or stuck in bad patterns.
Test Automation & AI Guardrails
Designing scalable test infrastructure — TDD, BDD, system, integration, and unit levels — plus the agent architecture, instruction frameworks, and guardrails that keep AI coding tools operating within a disciplined, traceable process.
Stakeholder Alignment
Bridging product, engineering, and business leadership with transparent reporting, clear prioritisation frameworks, and shared delivery language.
How we help
From messy delivery to structured execution.
The aim is not to bury your team in process. The aim is to remove ambiguity, reduce avoidable rework, and make delivery more reliable.
A practical engagement model
Every engagement starts by understanding how your team currently works, where delivery is breaking down, and what level of structure is actually needed.
1
Review
Assess current workflows, requirements, testing practices, release process, and team pain points.
2
Diagnose
Identify gaps causing bugs, delays, unclear scope, weak accountability, or poor compliance readiness.
3
Improve
Introduce practical changes to planning, requirements, testing, documentation, and delivery rituals.
4
Embed
Support the team as better habits become part of the normal operating rhythm.
Ways to work with us
Most engagements begin with a focused diagnostic workshop, starting from $1,500.
From there, we scope the right level of support: a delivery health check, regulated-readiness review, AI-assisted delivery review, or ongoing advisory engagement depending on your team's needs, risk profile, and delivery maturity.
We do not sell generic agile coaching hours. We help teams improve requirements discipline, testing evidence, documentation, traceability, AI guardrails, and release confidence.
Regulated environments
Agile needs discipline when the stakes are higher.
Medical software, health tech, fintech, banking, defence, and other compliance-sensitive teams cannot operate like a traditional agile or startup team. Agile can still work, but it needs stronger evidence in testing, and traceability to requirements.
For regulated and compliance-sensitive teams
Support for improving requirements discipline, testing evidence, documentation habits, traceability, auditability, risk control, release confidence, and stakeholder accountability in software delivery workflows.
Important: Our software and consulting services help teams organise compliance evidence, requirements, testing records, documentation, and traceability for TGA-sensitive software projects. We do not grant, guarantee, or represent TGA approval, and our tools are not a substitute for qualified legal or regulatory advice.
Who we help
Choose the situation closest to your team.
Different teams need different levels of structure. The work is tailored to your stage, industry, and delivery risk.
Startups moving beyond MVP chaos
Early teams often move quickly but accumulate delivery debt. Our Startup Software Advisory helps introduce enough structure to keep speed without losing control — including practical frameworks for teams adopting AI coding agents.
- Clearer feature requirements and acceptance criteria
- Better issue tracking and release planning
- Practical testing before bugs damage confidence
