Unfuck Your Engineering Team (in 90 days)
A 3-month disaster recovery program that gets your engineering team actually delivering — without the bullshit.
Sound Familiar?
Sprint after sprint, the velocity's all over the place. Nobody can predict when anything will actually ship. Leadership's asking questions you can't answer.Everything's on fire. Projects are months behind. Morale's in the toilet. You need to rebuild, but you don't know where to start.Engineering thinks product doesn't understand technology. Product thinks engineering doesn't understand the business. Meanwhile, nothing gets done.
Here’s How We Fix It
I don’t do six-month consultancy engagements that disappear when things get hard. I run a focused, intensive 3-month program that helps your engineering team understand the value they’re delivering and gives them a purpose worth fighting for.
Timeline
From fuckery to focus in 90 days.
Step 1
WK 0
Team Kick-Off
We set the context, get alignment on the actual problem (not what everyone thinks it is), and get the team to rate where they are. No corporate nonsense — just honest conversation about what’s broken.
Step 2
WK 1
Lightning Decision Jam
Get some early wins under your belt while I figure out the team dynamics. We start moving fast, building momentum, and showing everyone that change is actually possible.
Step 3
WK 3
Custom Workshop Plan
Based on what I’ve learned about your team, I’ll propose the specific workshops and interventions you need. Could be trust building, understanding engineering value, cascading support systems, finding purpose, or learning to manage up. We only do what your team actually needs.
Step 4
WK 3-12
Weekly Syncs & Support
Regular check-ins with leadership, progress reviews with the team, mentoring and support when things get messy. I’m in the trenches with you, not watching from an ivory tower.
Step 5
WK 14
Wrap-Up & Handover
Review what we’ve achieved, make sure the changes stick, and hand over the reins. Your team should be delivering consistently and know how to keep themselves on track.
What You’ll Actually Get
- A shared objective between business, product, and engineering that everyone actually believes in
- An engineering team that understands the value they deliver (and can articulate it to leadership)
- Consistent delivery cadence that doesn’t require heroics or weekend work
- A team that can self-correct when things start to drift (because they will)
- Engineers who know what they’re working towards and why it matters.
This Is For You If…
Product Leaders
You’re tired of engineering being a black box. You need them to deliver, but you also need them to understand why.
Engineering Managers
You’re stuck between leadership demands and team capacity. Everyone’s frustrated, and you’re taking fire from both sides.
Startup CTOs
Your engineering team worked when you were 5 people. Now you’re 25 and everything’s falling apart. You need to rebuild without starting over.
Business Leaders
You don’t understand why engineering can’t just deliver what you asked for. There’s a disconnect and it’s costing you money and time.
Who am I?
I’m Philip Allen Bennett, author of Punk Leadership: Screaming Together In The Same Direction. I’ve spent years in the trenches of the tech industry watching teams implode, burn out, and lose their way.
The tech industry broke everything — our political systems, our economies, people’s lives. It happened because leaders at every level of tech companies stopped thinking about the human impact of their decisions.
I help engineering teams remember what they’re fighting for. Not the quarterly targets or the OKRs or the sprint velocity metrics. The actual humans on the other side of the code.
This isn’t a six-month consultancy engagement where I write a report and disappear. This is three months of rolling up sleeves, getting in the weeds, and unfucking your team together.
Three months. That’s all it takes to go from chaos to consistent delivery. Book a call and let’s figure out if this is right for you.
