An engagement that builds your operating capability, not a deck about it.
Process Mentors works for executive leadership on the delivery problems that matter most to them, whether that is too many priorities for the capacity available, plans leadership cannot rely on, a PMO that needs to become a value management office, or teams that need a better way of working. The engagement is written around what your organization needs, and it does not end with recommendations, because it ends with your delivery system operating and your people holding every decision right.
You engage Process Mentors, and the intellectual property comes with the work.
Process Mentors owns a body of intellectual property that no other firm can bring, all of e2e Flow: the Delivery OS, the written PDLC, the AI skills and agents that operate them, the metrics and dashboards, the accelerators, the adoption system, and the BigBank reference model. In a consulting engagement there is nothing separate to buy, because the engagement is billed at an hourly rate that covers the consulting, the coaching and mentoring, the training for executives, leaders, and teams, and the use of that intellectual property, which is brought into the work as your situation calls for it rather than delivered all at once.
Whatever is brought in becomes your organization’s own copy, to keep, to use, and to go on adapting long after the engagement ends, for use inside your organization. An engagement that runs long enough can leave you holding the equivalent of the whole system, and a shorter one leaves you with exactly the parts the work needed, such as the PDLC without yet the Delivery OS. An organization that would rather have all of it at once, or wants the content with little or no consulting, can instead buy e2e Flow outright, and the two routes can be combined.
How an engagement starts, and how it grows.
The path into an engagement is stated here because a buyer should be able to see its shape before committing to the first minute of it. It begins with the working session: forty-five minutes, free, where the system runs live on a demonstration portfolio shaped like yours and then the session works your real situation. From there many organizations move straight into a consulting engagement scoped to the problem in front of them, with the hours flexing to the pace they want, and with the scope, the participants, and the terms agreed before any paid work begins. Others prefer to begin with a pilot: fixed scope, one value stream, paid, timeboxed against a six-week target, with the exact duration set jointly to fit your organization’s context and the deliverables named up front. The system operates on your actual work and you keep what it produces: your backlog ordered with its rationale recorded, your planning event run with its trade-off log, the morning read arriving daily, and the rollout shape for going wider.
Either start can grow into the full installation described on this page, in which the whole system is stood up in your organization. Each step produces something you keep whether or not the next one happens, and the decision to proceed is always made on evidence from your own portfolio, because that is how the system itself makes decisions. Read what changed in three engagements.
The system, stood up in your organization.
The Delivery OS stands up on the stack you already run: proven in production on Notion and Linear, and installed on Jira and Confluence or other combinations as part of the engagement, because what carries is the method, the chain, and the context files, not the tools. The Increment Delivery Chain installs against your live portfolio. Context files capture your domain knowledge, your vocabulary, and your constraints through facilitated expert interviews, so every skill output is specific to your organization from the first run.
And the guidance estate arrives already worked. The BigBank reference model shows every practice done at every level of the work, from the strategic objective down to the test cases and the supporting documents behind a single story, including work that is waiting, blocked, or honestly missed, so your people learn from a complete example from the first day rather than imagining what good looks like. Over the engagement your own examples supplement and then replace it, until the guidance speaks your domain, and BigBank stays with your organization as its reference.
Your people’s time goes to doing, not attending.
Adoption runs on a proven, repeatable system refined across dozens of organizations. Each practice arrives as a micro-session measured in minutes, paired with a ready-to-use accelerator, and then the practice runs on your own work the same day: your backlog, your increments, your planning event. No curriculum, no certification track, no quarter of classroom time before anything changes.
Adoption also fits the way your organization actually moves. Some organizations roll out together in waves, some bring teams in one at a time with an adoption kit per team made from the same onboarding playbook, some keep their planning process for a quarter while a bridge raises the quality of what goes into it, and some begin after the annual funding cycle with the year’s projects already in flight. Three of these paths are running in production in an engagement today, and the one that fits your organization is chosen in the working session rather than assumed.
The measure of adoption is never attendance; it is your Product Managers and Engineering Managers independently producing work that passes your quality gates, and your portfolio leadership operating the rhythm without us.
The firm, its founder, and the product.
Every engagement is led by Joshua Barnes, who founded Process Mentors and built the methodology, the chain, and the adoption system across more than two decades of doing this work inside real organizations. Process Mentors staffs each engagement to its scope, bringing on experienced consultants as the work requires, as it has throughout its history. e2e Flow is Process Mentors’ own product, from the Delivery OS and the guidance to the BigBank reference model and the adoption kits, and whether it reaches your organization through the engagement or through an outright purchase, your copy stays yours and continues after the engagement ends.
