THE CHALLENGE

Delivery chaos that pushed clients away and made the business hard to manage

CorpSoft didn’t have a sales problem. They could win work. The challenges started after the deal was signed.

Projects were slipping into fire mode. Clients complained, and some began to fall off due to inconsistent delivery. Around half of the portfolio was in the red zone based on CSAT metrics, meaning the project-related risks were critical. But the team had no unified system to measure project health or fix it consistently.

CorpSoft needed full operations leadership to rebuild delivery, resource planning, quality control, and account management. The company needed to protect key accounts, regain predictability, and grow on a stable foundation.

From the first assessment, Denys identified that project health wasn’t measured consistently, resource planning lacked structure, quality controls varied from team to team, and account management depended heavily on the CEO.

Instead of patching issues one by one, Denys focused on full operations leadership. He worked directly with CorpSoft’s leadership to redesign how delivery operates end to end: from org structure and staffing models to delivery governance, quality control, and client-facing routines.

Here’s how Denys helped CorpSoft stabilize delivery, protect client relationships, and rebuild predictability across the business.

THE SOLUTION

Delivery optimization to protect margin and improve client satisfaction

Denys helped CorpSoft put an operations structure in place to make delivery measurable, improve resource planning, client retention, and account growth.

His approach had 3 stages:

    Company-wide diagnostic and structure reset. Denys normalized the org structure (matrix model: projects × competencies), clarified ownership across CEO/Delivery/CTO/Operations, and introduced project health metrics and CSAT/NPS foundations.

    Delivery + staffing optimization. Shifted planning toward an FTE/utilization model, introduced KPI reporting, and standardized delivery quality and execution to reduce rework and stabilize performance.

    Operational maturity and client governance. Denys embedded routines that keep the system running, including operational reporting, unit-level accountability, account management flow, and claims/issues/opportunities workflows.

IMPLEMENTATION

Objective 1: Stabilize delivery quality and make project health measurable

Action 1. Introduce project health metrics

When Denys joined, CorpSoft was in the middle of a crisis; clients fell off because problems with delivery weren’t tracked and solved on time. So the first move was to make project health visible across the whole portfolio. Denys introduced a shared health model and CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Score) metrics so every project could be evaluated the same way.

Illustration

Denys introduced CSAT metrics, so CorpSoft could see which projects were in red, yellow, and green zones.

This allowed the team to see what needed to be fixed first.

Action 2. Create a single source of truth for all projects

Once basic delivery health criteria were defined, the next step was making them visible in one place. Denys showed CorpSoft how they can track projects end-to-end in a single operational dashboard.

Illustration

On the real example, Denys shared how project performance can be tracked in a single place.

Using proven practices from Yalantis and adapting them to CorpSoft, he helped design a project overview dashboard that combined what previously lived in silos:

    Delivery performance (schedule, scope, risks)

    PM ownership and audit results

    Quality signals (bugs, defects, QA status)

    Client signals (CSAT, ESAT, incidents)

    Financial indicators (invoices, debt, margin risks)

Action 3. Make quality and execution standards consistent across teams

To reduce repeat issues and rework, Denys pushed practical standards into day-to-day delivery: baseline QA rules, clearer acceptance criteria (Definition of Done), and standardized reporting/doc templates.  

Objective 2: Align delivery, resource planning, quality & account management

Action 1. Connect delivery, resources, and finances into one operating model

At CorpSoft, delivery problems often came from incorrect planning. Teams were fragmented across multiple projects, utilization wasn’t visible, and the financial impact was discovered too late. Denys addressed this by rebuilding how delivery and resource planning work together.

He introduced the Full Time Equivalent (FTE)-based planning, utilization tracking, and delivery economics (GPM, COGS). Leadership could now see who is overloaded, where margin is leaking, and which projects are structurally unhealthy.

Action 2. Build an Account Management flow

Denys helped CorpSoft formalize account management as part of operations. He built a Delivery → Client Feedback → Improvement → Growth loop, supported by tools and ownership.

The loop worked like this:

    Delivery runs with quality standards, reporting, and health metrics

    Client feedback is collected systematically (NPS, CSAT, monthly reviews, QBRs)

    Issues, risks, and requests are logged as claims/issues/opportunities in Jira with owners and deadlines

    Delivery fixes root causes and adjusts execution, staffing, or scope

    Account management returns to the client with resolved problems, improved performance, and concrete upsell or expansion proposals

Because this loop ran continuously, CorpSoft could start managing relationships proactively.
The end result: Delivery improvements no longer disappeared inside projects, they directly translated into higher satisfaction, stronger retention, and new revenue opportunities.
