Consulting built around one thing: hands-on work in your Jira instance, not advice from the side.
A 30-minute call. A fixed-price audit. Then the build.
Most enterprise Atlassian help comes from resellers and Solution Partners. Their advice is real, but there is always a license or an implementation markup attached to it. I sell neither. I don't earn a commission on the tooling you buy, and there's no firm above me marking up the work. If the audit finds your foundation is already solid and you don't need anything else, that's a valid and common outcome, and I'll tell you so. When I do stay to build it, you're paying for the work, not a layer of account management sitting on top of it.

A 30-minute call. A fixed-price audit. Then the build.
Three steps. You know what each one is before you start it.
A 30-minute scoping call
What is broken, and who reads the numbers.
You tell me what leadership keeps asking for that nobody can answer cleanly. I ask where the number comes from, who touches it on the way up, and what happens when it is wrong.
No slides. No proposal on the call. By the end we both know whether there is a fit, and I know what I would be sizing.
Book a scoping callJira Portfolio Accuracy Audit
Usually a few weeks, sized after a 30-minute scoping call, at a fixed price.
I work inside your Jira and sit with the people who build the status.
What I do in your instance
- Instance architecture: one system, or several wearing a trench coat
- Workflow standardization across teams and portfolios
- Field hygiene and whether metrics mean the same thing everywhere
- Automation gaps, including stalled-work detection
- Portfolio visibility: how leadership actually gets status
- AI readiness: would today's data foundation support it
Jira is usually the center of gravity, but enterprise delivery never lives in one tool. The audit follows the data wherever it actually flows: Power BI, Microsoft 365, the Excel sheets teams still run on, vendor platforms. A portfolio view is only as trustworthy as the integrations feeding it.
What you get
A reporting framework you can plan from, ranked by the decisions in front of you. Cost exposure included where you need it.
I also check whether your tickets are true enough for an AI to report on them. An AI agent will report whatever your tickets say. The audit tells you whether they say the right thing.
Build and support
A fractional weekly cadence in the tool. Scoped from what the audit finds.
What the audit finds gets built first:
- Shared workflows and fields
- Automation flows that catch stalled work
- A reporting layer leadership can open cold
- Runbooks so your team owns it
Then I stay as long as it is useful. New teams onboarded onto the shared setup. Changes built and tested before they touch production.
Built, working, and owned by your team.
Not sure where to start?
The AI readiness assessment is a self-serve version of the audit's first pass. Score your environment across five foundation dimensions in about 4 minutes, then decide whether a conversation makes sense.
