Findyour calmwith Fern Strategy
Your Tech Lead Partner
We help product-driven organizations lead complex systems, ship faster, and scale with clarity.
Big systems. Fast roadmaps. High stakes.
We join your team to lead mission‑critical work and leave you with the strategy to keep it going.
Let's convert your greatest opportunities into your next bold moves.
Fractional Tech Leadership
Embedded leadership for teams in flux — architecture, mentoring, delivery, and high-quality code, without the full-time overhead.
Full-Stack Development
From MVP to scaled system: Web apps, APIs, and distributed systems built with modern practices and AI-augmented workflows.
AI Adoption Strategy
Design, rollout, and cultural adoption of generative AI tools for your development team and business processes.
Agent-Based Delivery
Parallelize work using AI and agent-based task delegation, supervised by senior engineers for faster throughput.
Our Five-Step Engagement Process
Discovery & Alignment
We start by immersing ourselves in your world—interviewing key stakeholders (engineering, product, program, exec) to understand your business goals, project drivers, timeline constraints, and success metrics. By the end of this phase, we've jointly agreed on priorities, risks, and high-level deliverables.
Sizing & Sequencing
Working closely with your technical and product leaders, we rapidly high-level estimate ("T-shirt sizing") each workstream, then sequence them into a clear roadmap. We break your year into bite-sized planning horizons (quarterly or bi-annual), identifying dependencies, resource needs, and quick-win opportunities.
Engagement Planning
Once scope is agreed, we allocate your Fern Strategy "credits"—whether that's a fractional Tech Lead, AI-workflow architect, or hands-on IC support. We finalize the Statement of Work (SOW), set up an embedded working agreement (meeting cadences, reporting lines, on-call rhythm), and onboard our experts to your systems and processes.
Detailed Design & Kick-off
With alignment locked, we produce the core artifacts you need to kick off execution: architecture diagrams, Gantt charts or sprint roadmaps, RFC templates, QA and observability plans, and comprehensive documentation. Then we convene your kickoff workshop, share those assets, and make sure every team member knows their role and next steps.
Delivery & Evolution
We drive toward each milestone with hands-on coding, code reviews, cross-functional coordination, and AI-accelerated workflows. After launch, we support rollout, monitor stability, and run fast-follow sprints for enhancements or hotfixes. As your embedded partner, we leave behind documented best practices and the capability to sustain momentum long after our term ends.
