How Hiring a Dedicated Delivery Manager Works
From the requirements call to one honest portfolio view. Here is how we vet, match and onboard every delivery manager we place.
Vetting, matching and onboarding, in that order
Every manager is tested on real program pressure
Before a delivery manager joins our bench, they are tested on portfolio reporting methodology, capacity planning, and a scenario exercise re-balancing two streams competing for the same engineers.
- Portfolio reporting and capacity planning.
- Cross-stream risk identification.
- A live resource-conflict exercise.
You get a shortlist, not a resume pile
We match delivery managers to your specific portfolio: the number of active streams, the reporting structure, and the timezone overlap that works for your leadership. You see 2 to 3 fitting profiles, not fifty.
- Matched to your number of active streams.
- Matched to your reporting structure.
- Matched to your working hours.
A structured start, then you take the lead
The manager reviews every active stream, meets each stream owner, and sets up a reporting cadence with leadership in the first week. You manage priorities directly from there.
- A review of every active stream.
- Introductions to stream owners and leadership.
- Direct day-to-day management by your team.
