Growing faster than your way of working?
A free 45-minute Delivery Health Check
Get work flowing again
Know what matters most
Hi, I'm Ariadna
Engineering Manager and Agile Delivery lead, helping growing teams make delivery predictable again.
I've spent 16+ years in tech, most recently as an Engineering Manager at Eventbrite. I've led engineering teams, helped scale a tech organisation from around 40 to 70+ people, and worked on technology strategy three to five years out.
When a team grows, the way it works often doesn't grow with it. Commitments slip, priorities blur, and Product and Engineering drift apart. I help you find where delivery gets stuck, and get it moving again.
The Delivery Health Check
A 45-minute conversation about how your team really works, followed by a short written report. I look at five areas, the ones that usually start to creak first when a team grows.
Delivery predictability
Do commitments hold? Where does work wait?
Product–Engineering alignment
Does the team know why it builds what it builds?
Prioritisation
Is there one clear priority, or is everything urgent?
Team effectiveness
Can the team decide without escalating everything?
Process & metrics
Are metrics used to learn? Do retros change anything?
What you get
- A score from 1 to 10 for each area
- What's working, so you protect it
- The main risks slowing you down
- Three concrete recommendations to start with
How it works
- Pick a timeBook a slot that suits you in my calendar.
- Fill in a short questionnaireAbout ten minutes. A teammate can share their view too.
- We talk for 45 minutesAbout how work really flows, with recent examples.
- You get your reportWithin three working days, plus a short call to go through it.
I've been on the inside of the team
I've worked at team and organisation level, connecting business strategy, people, process and technology. So I don't arrive with a framework to install. I look at how your team actually works and help fix the part that's slowing it down.
- Helped scale a tech organisation from around 40 to 70+ people
- Cut cycle time by 30% and made delivery more predictable
- Reduced recurring defects by about 25% through quality and testing changes
- Led teams through hiring, growth and promotion with 100% retention over two years
- Worked on digital products with 50M+ monthly impressions
Three reasons the change sticks
- People and system, together. In my experience, most delivery problems are half process, half people: unclear ownership, decisions that wait for one person, managers stretched too thin. I've managed teams, not just processes, so I work on both sides at once.
- Your team owns it. Less process for the sake of process. We agree a few concrete changes with the people doing the work, instead of installing a framework from outside.
- It's measured. We take a baseline before we start, cycle time, predictability, unplanned work, and look at it again at the end. You see whether it worked, not just whether it felt better.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The call and the written report cost nothing, and there's no obligation afterwards.
What happens after?
You may well be able to run with the recommendations yourselves. If you want to go deeper, there's a 2–3 day Delivery Diagnostic with your real data and team interviews, then a four-week Delivery Improvement Sprint, or ongoing help as a Fractional Delivery Lead.
We're a larger organisation. Does it still work?
Yes. I focus the Health Check on one area or group of teams so the recommendations stay concrete.
Can I just send you a question?
Of course. Write to hello@ariadnamartin.dev and I'll reply within two working days.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Nothing you share is used or published without your permission.
