Forward deployed engineering with Maestro

People decide. Agents execute. Maestro governs.

Our engineers and agents

Maestro

We deploy engineers with the product. A small senior pod takes one business problem to software in production, in weeks, and every step of it is in front of you in Maestro.

Maestro's cockpit: three deadlines agreed with named people, the current release on track with a likely, best and worst date, a burn-up of executed against planned work, and the delivery measures underneath.

AEvery date is agreed with a person, by name.

BThe likely date comes from the real pace of the work, with its best and worst.

CWhat was executed, against what was planned.

How a pod works.

A pod is one to three senior engineers directing agents, inside your operation. It takes one business problem from diagnosis to software in production. These are its first weeks.

  • The work
  • Where it lands, inside the range we state
  • A decision, answered by a person

The people who understand the problem are the people who build the solution.

The practice behind every pod: inside the operation, with the people who run it, measured in the operation's own numbers.

How we put Maestro to work in a company.

Forward deployed engineering is the lead. Around it, the rest of the practice prepares the ground at each layer of the Lean Pyramid: strategy, management and engineering.

Management

Discovery

Assessments that end in numbers, a sequence and a first probe.

Workshops

Lean it 101 is a software engineering and transformation firm in Palhoça, Brazil.

We wrote the Lean Pyramid, which ties strategy, management and engineering into one system, and we have spent years inside the operations of companies such as Vale, Softplan and Segware.

Maestro is that practice made into a product: the board our engineers and their agents work on, and the one our clients read. It is why every step of a pod is in front of you.

Bring us one problem that matters.

Something slow, expensive or stuck between the business and engineering. We will tell you on the call whether a pod is the right way in.
