Delivery ops that actually make the trains run on time
StackCertified PMs own the backlog, cadence, and throughput reporting — so your leads stop chasing status.
Starting at $2,600–$3,800/month. Ready in 7 days.
The Scorecard
- Backlog grooming
Tickets scoped, estimated, and prioritized before the sprint — not during it.
- Sprint + cadence operations
Planning, stand-ups, and reviews run on a fixed cadence; nothing slips because of "who runs this?"
- Risk + dependency tracking
Blockers surfaced early with clear owners; cross-team deps tracked explicitly.
- Throughput reportingClaude
Weekly PM report shows velocity, defect rate, and ageing tickets — feeds the ops retro.
- Retro discipline
Monthly retros with three concrete improvements, tracked to completion.
AI Stack They're Certified On
Sample KPIs
- Sprint completion rate (target ≥ 85%)
- Blocked-ticket age (target < 3 business days)
- Defect rate (post-release) — trending down month over month
- Retro improvements shipped / quarter (target ≥ 6)
Drafts sprint plans, summarises backlog, writes throughput reports, flags at-risk tickets.
Owns retros, escalates blockers, makes scope + sequencing calls with delivery leads.
Sample SOP
- Monday plan — sprint kicked off with clear owners and acceptance criteria.
- Daily stand-up — 10 minutes, surfaces blockers only.
- Wednesday mid-sprint check — at-risk tickets flagged early.
- Friday review + retro prep — what shipped, what slipped, why.
- Monthly retro — three improvements, tracked to closed.
Rule: the backlog is never a mystery. Every ticket has an owner, a due date, and a definition of done.
Who this operator is for
Your delivery lead is running the sprint instead of leading the team. A StackCertified PM owns the ops rhythm so leads can mentor, code-review, and architect — not chase status.
What changes in the first 30 days
- Week 1 — onboard backlog + cadence on one delivery pod.
- Week 2 — run the stand-up + mid-sprint check solo.
- Week 3 — own the Friday review + weekly report.
- Week 4 — lead reclaims a full day/week for mentoring + code review.
What they don't do
They don't set technical direction or write specs from scratch. They run ops.
