Interim management for software projects: filled fast.
Interim management for software projects and IT: we take over the project lead for a defined period, available at short notice, technically solid, with an orderly handover to your successor.
Ready at short notice
Quick check within days, start typically within days to a few weeks.
Technically solid
We build software ourselves and judge codebase, architecture and estimates from day one.
Defined end
Stabilise, structure, hand over and make ourselves redundant on schedule.
When interim management is the right lever.
-
The project lead drops out
Illness, resignation, parental leave: the project runs and nobody leads it. We take over deadlines, vendors, budget and reporting from day one.
More on this
In parallel we onboard your successor, secure knowledge and document structures so the project stops hanging on a single person.
-
The project is off track
Deadlines slip, the budget drains away, vendor and business point at each other. We run a review and stabilise the critical points.
More on this
The review looks at plans, contracts and codebase and states the actual position. Then comes the turnaround: drive decisions, secure deadlines, get team and vendors back into rhythm.
-
A vacancy needs bridging
Months often pass between a departure and a new hire for IT or development leadership. We lead the team, set priorities and keep operations stable.
More on this
An interim software development manager also carries the succession: sharpen the role profile, interview candidates on substance, accompany onboarding. The same applies to special projects with no spare capacity, such as an ERP rollout or a system change.
-
The vendor is changing
You are parting ways with the current agency and the new one is still ramping up. We organise handover, code audit and restart.
More on this
Because we develop software ourselves, we judge codebase, architecture and estimates without going through the vendor. The product stands still for no day during the switch.
Lead gone, project still running?
Waiting for the new hire costs you deadlines and knowledge. We run the quick check within days.
From the call to the handover.
Enquiry and quick check
Understand the situation, clarify availability, give an assessment within days.
Entry
Access, conversations, a review of plans and codebase in the first week.
Stabilise
Critical issues first: decisions, deadlines, rhythm for team and vendors.
Structure
Build processes, documentation and reporting that work without us.
Hand over
Onboard the successor, document the status, exit as defined.
Frequently asked questions about interim management.
How quickly can you start?
We run the quick check within days, and the start typically follows within days to a few weeks. Ask us and you get a binding statement on availability right away.
How long does an interim engagement last?
Typically 3–12 months: long enough to stabilise and build structures, short enough for a defined end. Scope and end sit in the mandate, including a handover plan.
Full-time or part-time?
Both. Turnaround situations need high presence at first, which then decreases on schedule. Bridging a vacancy frequently works with 2–4 days per week.
On site or remote?
As needed. Presence is valuable at the start and in leadership roles. In Saxony (Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz) we are on site quickly, beyond that we combine on-site days with remote work.
What sets you apart from a management consultancy?
We take responsibility in day-to-day business: lead the team, make decisions with you, get measured by results. We judge code, architecture and estimates ourselves.
What does interim management cost?
We bill by daily rate and actual engagement, with no placement fee, because you work with us directly. After the quick check you receive a proposal with role, capacity and duration.
Every week without leadership costs you money.
