You’re growing, that’s fantastic! You can feel it in your bones, not to mention the data, that some areas are spinning out. You’re throwing more bodies at the problem but you know it’s a temporary solution.  You need a technical leader that can optimize and tune processes to facilitate more growth while keeping you efficient.

You have scattered notes, a trello board, jira stories in the backlog but you don’t have the bandwidth, the algorithms or possibly the know-how to calculate effort vs impact, distill customer feedback and juxtapose that with blue ocean vision to create a coherent and adaptive product roadmap system.

 Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned audit?  In this case the Fractional CTO is pairing with one of our Senior Designers to provide a comprehensive review along with recommendations and an action plan to be executed either by your in-house team or the 303 Software team.

You might be in Jira, you might be in Trello, you might be in a spreadsheet.  Wherever you are, your tool is only as good as your process. If you’re here, there is a good chance you detect that your process does not have the rigor that your team might need.

At some point every scaling organization experiences infrastructure bloat. You’ve had some strategic scaling wins, but it’s also very convenient to let the system auto-scale and flip the switch up to the next server size.  Unfortunately that means your AWS or cloud provider bill is 3X to 5X what it needs to be.  The Fractional CTO will lead a DevOps audit to save money while also uncovering performance optimizations along the way.

 It’s a rare breed that loves writing documentation.  Curiously, amazing things start happening when your public and private product and technical documentation improves.  Adoption improves, CX improves, productivity increases and of course access to information expands.

When your lead developer is frustrated because they are spending half their time managing others, you’re losing valuable productivity and if you’re not careful you’ll lose them too.  The Fractional CTO can provide relief to the lead dev, while also bringing a level of orchestration that will.

For a while now, or perhaps since the latest set of updates, your system has been slowing down, and customers are beginning to notice. 303 Software Engineers and Architects, orchestrated by a fractional CTO, have the depth of knowledge and decades of experience troubleshooting software systems you’ll need to get to the bottom of things and return to cruising speed.

Entering a new market is one of the biggest risks you can take, whether you’re an established business or a startup. The fractional CTO can take the lead in de-risking while being a key member developing your business model, competitive analysis

You’ve been debating making the leap to SOC2.

Sometimes you just need a force multiplier for your existing CTO.  In lieu of cloning, this is your next best option.  There is also a common case where a new CTO or one that is specialized in certain areas needs to pair-up or level-up skills in other areas.
