Governance

Named roles on every project

Every engagement has the same four accountable roles, so there is never a question about who owns a decision.

Engagement lead

Owns the relationship, commercials and escalations. Based in the US for North American clients.

Project manager

Runs the plan, sprints, status reports, risks and change control.

Solution architect

Designs the solution, leads workshops and reviews every custom change.

QA lead

Owns test scripts, regression testing and the UAT process.

Change control

New requests are logged, estimated and approved before they are built, so scope and price stay predictable.

Transparent reporting

Weekly status reports with progress, risks, open decisions and next steps, plus a shared project workspace.

Upgrade safe build

Custom code follows Odoo standards and is peer reviewed, so the database can be upgraded later without a rewrite.
