Get it right before the budget is committed

Scoping, agency selection and delivery leadership from someone who has run delivery inside agencies, and knows where projects usually go wrong.

Talk through your project

When the decision matters and the detail is unclear

  • You have a project in mind and three quotes that can’t be compared.
  • Your brief is long, but nobody could say what finished looks like.
  • An agency relationship has drifted: costs rising, dates slipping, no clear view of why.
  • You need someone senior to own delivery for a while, without a permanent hire.

Two ways I can help

Most overruns are agreed at the start

A long brief without acceptance criteria or milestones gives the client and the agency two different versions of the truth. Every gap becomes a change request, the time goes on meetings, and the extra cost lands somewhere: a used contingency, a change order, or retainer hours spent on work that should have been in scope.

The fix is unglamorous and it works: milestones, and for every part of the statement of work a defined output, an agreed cost and a clear test for sign-off, before any code is written.

The 69-page example

Experience behind it

  • Head of delivery in all but title at two agencies, owning the project and retainer portfolio.
  • Made acceptance criteria and structured briefs, with video walkthroughs, the standard before work entered development.
  • Primary delivery contact for several concurrent Adobe Commerce sites on one enterprise account.
  • Over 25 years across development, platforms, agency operations and delivery.

From first call to delivered

  1. A conversation

    Tell me where things stand. No finished brief needed.

  2. Scoping

    A fixed-price brief with milestones, acceptance criteria and an estimate range.

  3. The build

    With me, or with the agency you choose, against the agreed criteria.

  4. Delivery lead, if useful

    I stay on for agreed days to hold everyone to it.

Got quotes that don’t line up?

Send them over. I’ll tell you what each one actually includes, and what it leaves out.

Talk through your project

Advice you can take elsewhere

I advise on projects and also offer direct builds. If Vision2 could deliver the work, I make that commercial interest clear when comparing the options. The written brief is yours to take to another supplier.

The next step stays your decision

The recommendation may be a Vision2 build, an agency, improving what you already have, or leaving a change out. Scoping and any subsequent implementation are agreed separately, with their own deliverables and costs.

What are you trying to get moving?

Tell me where things stand, what needs to change and any date you are working towards.

You might have a project to scope, systems that aren’t joining up, or a task that keeps taking too much time. You don’t need a finished brief to start a conversation.

Start with what’s getting in the way.

A few lines about the situation, the people involved and what a useful result would look like are enough. I’ll come back to you personally with a practical next step.
