    Each milestone includes a review and revision window before sign-off.

Project-Based Engagement, answered

What does Project-Based Engagement actually mean?

We scope the project, agree a milestone schedule and a fixed price, and deliver against that plan. You pay as milestones are completed, rather than paying for staff time regardless of progress.

How is this different from a Managed Delivery Team?

A Managed Delivery Team runs ongoing delivery against a rolling roadmap with SLA-backed staffing. Project-Based Engagement covers a defined scope with a start and an end, priced and scheduled around fixed milestones.

What happens if the scope changes mid-project?

Scope changes are handled through a change request that adjusts the milestone schedule and price before work proceeds, so you always know the cost of a change before it happens.

How is payment structured?

Payment is tied to milestone completion, typically an upfront deposit followed by payments at agreed delivery points through to final sign-off.

How long does scoping take before the project starts?

Most projects move from initial requirements to a signed scope and milestone schedule within one to two weeks, depending on project complexity.

What if we are not satisfied with a delivered milestone?

Each milestone includes a review and revision window before sign-off, so issues are addressed before payment for that milestone is due.
