What is the difference between consulting and fractional CTO services?
Consulting is project-based and focuses on specific technical challenges or assessments. Fractional CTO services are ongoing and include strategic leadership, team management, and architectural oversight on a part-time basis.
How do you approach team mentoring?
I use a combination of one-on-one mentoring, group workshops, code reviews, and pair programming. I focus on knowledge transfer, best practices, and building self-sufficient teams.
Can you help with technology selection?
Yes, I help evaluate your specific needs, assess technology options, and provide recommendations based on your requirements, team capabilities, and business goals.
How do you handle technical debt?
I first identify and categorize technical debt, prioritize it based on business impact, and develop a systematic plan to reduce it while maintaining ongoing development.
What agile methodologies do you support?
I support Scrum, Kanban, and various hybrid approaches. I help teams implement the methodology that works best for their context and continuously improve their agile practices.
How long does a typical engagement last?
Engagements vary from short-term assessments (2-4 weeks) to long-term fractional CTO relationships (6+ months). I customize the engagement based on your specific needs and goals.
Do you provide digital transformation strategy?
Yes, I help organizations with digital transformation by assessing current capabilities, defining technology roadmaps, and guiding the implementation of new technologies and processes.
