Become Leader
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Run a structured leadership self-assessment against real situations where you fell short, then close the gap under review from someone who has led teams.
Lead Across Functions Without Authority
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Diagnose the structural cause of a real cross-team collaboration failure, fix it, and measure the before/after change in how often it recurs.
Build a High-Signal Team Communication Culture
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Name the specific, evidenced communication failures on a real team, fix the structural gap behind them, and measure the change.
Build a Hiring System That Works
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Audit a real hiring process against time-to-hire, offer-acceptance, and retention data, then fix the specific failure modes and show the improved numbers.
Run Tight, Predictable Sprints
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Build a real multi-sprint baseline for completion rate and cycle time, diagnose the specific root cause of missed commitments, then prove the fix in the data.
Manage Stakeholders at Every Level
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Take a real, live stakeholder misalignment — diagnose whether it's an information, priority, or constraint gap — and resolve it to a documented outcome.
Improve Team Accountability
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Measure what a real team actually commits to versus completes, diagnose the specific accountability failure pattern, then show the corrected completion rate.
Improve Knowledge Sharing
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Diagnose the dominant knowledge gap costing a real team time, then build and prove adoption of an actual knowledge system — not a wiki nobody opens.
Improve Decision Cadence
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Diagnose which decision-cadence failure is slowing a real team down, fix it with a structural change, then show decisions moving faster with the same rigor.
Improve Team Retention
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Diagnose why people are actually leaving a real team using exit and stay interview data, then show the change in voluntary turnover rate after intervening.
Build a Partner Coordination System
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Map where coordination breaks down between your organisation and real external partners, then fix the specific accountability or escalation gaps.
Ship and Sustain a Reliable Service
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Set real SLOs for critical services, measure the actual reliability gap against them, then close it and defend the change to a panel of practitioners.
Lead Incidents From Alert to Resolution
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Audit a real incident response process against MTTD/MTTR and post-mortem completion, fix the specific failure modes, then show the improved metrics.
Run Governance That Actually Executes
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Map where a real organisation's governance decisions stop translating into action, fix the accountability or escalation gap, then prove decisions execute.
Coordinate Across Regions Without Friction
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Map where coordination breaks down between central and regional teams in a real organisation, then fix the specific information or resource-allocation gap.
Improve Program Management
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Diagnose the dominant failure pattern across a real multi-team programme using completion-rate data, then fix it and show the improved on-time rate.
Run Field Operations at Scale
4 milestones · 12 weeks
Establish a real baseline across field metrics like first-time-fix rate or utilisation, diagnose failure modes from real job records, then show improvement.
Scale an Engineering Team from 5 to 20
5 milestones · 24 weeks
Scale an engineering team from 5 to 20 people — the hardest management transition in software. The skills that made you effective at 5 will actively harm you at 20. Every milestone here is about replacing personal relationships with systems, and replacing your presence with documented authority.
Complete a Full Performance Review Cycle
3 milestones · 12 weeks
Run end-to-end reviews: calibration, written assessments, delivery, and follow-through.
Ship a Team Charter and Ways of Working
3 milestones · 8 weeks
Write, get buy-in, and operate by a team charter for 90+ days.
Build a Hiring Funnel from Scratch
3 milestones · 12 weeks
Design and run a hiring process from JD to offer for 3+ roles successfully.
Operate as a Staff Engineer
5 milestones · 20 weeks
Staff Engineer is the most misunderstood title in the industry. Many companies hand out the title for tenure or as a retention tool, without the person ever doing Staff-level work. This outcome's proof standard is about the WORK, not the title — every milestone tests for influence without authority, the hardest skill at this level. The defining shift from Senior to Staff is scope: a Senior engineer is excellent within a defined problem. A Staff engineer identifies which problems matter before anyone assigns them, and influences outcomes across teams they do not manage.
Ship a Product from 0 to 1 as PM
3 milestones · 16 weeks
Take a product from idea to public launch with measurable user adoption.
Complete SHRM-CP Certification
3 milestones · 16 weeks
Pass the SHRM Certified Professional exam.
