Fractional Technical Lead
Most useful where there is a real decision load rather than a support load. If the need is day-to-day support, IT Foundations plus a retainer is the better fit and costs less.
The problem
Your systems have outgrown the person currently maintaining them, and you cannot justify hiring a technical leader.
How we approach it
The function of a technical lead on a monthly retainer. Decisions, sequencing, vendor management and oversight, without the hire.
What you get
- Technical direction and architecture decisions
- Vendor selection and management
- Sequencing and dependency management
- Oversight of internal or contracted delivery
- Regular reporting to owners or the board
What this does not cover
- Hands-on implementation, quoted separately
- Day-to-day helpdesk
Timeline
Monthly retainer, minimum three months
Price
Monthly retainer, quoted on scope
Priced on decision load and cadence rather than hours.
Outcome
Someone accountable for the technical direction, available on the timeline you actually need.
