/ Agile delivery, Brisbane
Agile coaching for teams whose delivery slipped
We work inside the framework your teams already use, fix what slows delivery and coach your leads until they run it without us.
SAFe, LeSS, Scrum or Kanban: we work inside whatever your teams run today. We measure cycle time and release frequency first, then fix the steps that slow delivery, so releases land on the dates you gave the business.

Delivering programs since 2010
8 sectors, from mining to professional sport
Our team has worked on programs for Metagenics, Aurizon Network, Suncorp, Origin Energy, the Hunter Valley Coal Chain Coordinator, Orica, Big W, Griffith University and The University of Queensland.
Delivery slips and nobody can say why
Cadence drifts, releases get heavier and feedback loops stretch out until the releases you promised the business arrive a sprint late, then two.
We find what's broken inside the way your teams already work and fix it there.
How we work on your program
Start where your teams are
We work inside the framework you already use and keep its names and ceremonies.
Fix what's broken
We tighten cycles, releases and feedback loops with your engineers and product people.
Coach, then leave
We coach your leads and engineers until the practice runs after our handover.
What you get
Shorter cycles
Shorter cycles and cleaner releases the business can plan around.
Changes inside your current method
We improve the way you work today and leave the org chart alone.
Capability that stays
Delivery leads, engineers and product people coached to keep it running.
A planned exit
We coach until your team runs its own planning and retrospectives. The Metagenics squad still runs on the practices built during that program.
/ Why Softwired
Why delivery leads bring us in
We measure before we change anything
We start by measuring cycle time, deployment frequency and change failure rate on the work your teams already have in flight. You see where delivery slows, and the same measures later show whether our changes worked.
Changes inside the framework you run
Your framework keeps its names and ceremonies. We change the steps that hold work up, such as slow release approvals or work that sits waiting for review.
An exit planned from the start
We plan the handover when we start. Before we leave, your delivery leads run planning and retrospectives on their own.
What this looked like at Metagenics
Metagenics brought us in as client-side project management lead. The program moved 280 regulated label artworks onto Shopify Plus with no stock-outs and launched on time and on budget. 24% of existing customers opted in on day one, and D2C revenue and customers doubled in the first year.
“The way we conquered scope creep was disciplined project management and internal communications.”
Suzie Young, Head of Digital ANZ, Metagenics
Who leads the work
Before joining Softwired, Cassy Barnes, our Head of Change and Adoption, delivered Glencore's P150 program, which saved US$165M in baseline costs within 12 months. At Anglo American she gated every go-live in her improvement portfolio on a change readiness check.
James Hallam, our Principal Consultant, led the Metagenics launch and then its multi-brand program, which grew digital revenue 88% across 2025.
Signs this is the right next step
- Your delivery cadence has slipped and you can't see why.
- You're scaling agile across teams and the teams are falling out of step.
- You want delivery to speed up without another reorganisation.
The questions we get before we start.
Whatever you’re already using. SAFe, LeSS, Scrum, Kanban or your own variant: we work inside it and fix what’s broken without rebranding the whole thing.
Coaches. We coach your delivery leads, engineers, and product people so the practice keeps running after we leave.
We measure cycle time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and whether the business can absorb what you ship. We look across the engineering practice and the surrounding governance, because faster releases only count if they hold up in production and the value lands.
