I help scale-ups make delivery predictable again when growth starts to outpace their systems – stabilising delivery, unblocking decision flow, and embedding sustainable capability between product and engineering.
The Agile on the Beach talks just went live on YouTube.
🎤 Beyond "Just Try Harder": Three practical ways to tackle bugs
More effort doesn’t fix broken systems – it just hides them.

Big day. After 15 years with Headforwards, I'm setting out solo.
Thanks to everyone I've learned from along the way.
Now it's Andy Weir Consulting: working alongside teams under pressure, helping leaders fix what slows delivery down.

Release day shouldn’t feel like roulette.
In Part 2 of this 3-part series, I show how we made changes smaller, safer, and more frequent - moving from two-week "maybe" releases to every two days.

Three Effective Strategies to Tackle Bugs: Part 2 - Smaller, Safer Changes

"Just try harder" isn’t a strategy — it’s a symptom.
In Part 1 of this 3-part series, I show how we rebuilt trust in feedback by fixing the system, not blaming the team.

Three Effective Strategies to Tackle Bugs: Part 1 - Fast Feedback
Slow tests = slow teams. Learn how fast feedback loops helped a HealthTech org cut bugs, reclaim 20+ hours/dev/month, and rebuild trust in delivery.

Just spoke at Agile on the Beach.
My 13th time at the conference.
First one? 2012.
Back then:
— Raspberry Pi had just launched
— Michael Feathers and Ebon Upton keynoted
— It was small, scrappy, full of possibility
#AOTB2025 felt just as special.
