A firm-wide view—without asking every project lead

A consulting firm tracks client engagements and consultant assignments across individual project leads' personal systems, so partners can't get a firm-wide view of what's in flight without asking each lead individually. Build one shared record every engagement lives in.

Personal systems don't roll up into a firm view

When each project lead runs their engagement in their own spreadsheet or notes app, there's no way for a partner to see firm-wide utilization or engagement health without individually checking in—which doesn't scale past a handful of engagements.

Give every engagement the same structure—milestones, time, deliverables—so a firm-wide view is a query, not a round of emails.

From engagement to retrospective
  1. 1. Client and engagement are created with scope, milestones, and consultants
  2. 2. Consultants log time and progress against milestones
  3. 3. Deliverables are reviewed internally before client delivery
  4. 4. Client is billed against time or milestone completion
  5. 5. Engagement closes with a retrospective on scope, budget, and outcome
