Predictable, successful projects in weeks
I’ve worked in project-led agencies and product teams for over two decades. I’ve helped delivery teams of all forms break the cycle of unpredictability and build a culture of consistent on-time project success.
I’m Harry Bailey, and I’ve run my own agencies, coached product and agency teams, and seen what works (and lots of what doesn’t) in the real world.
I share those practical, actionable strategies—tailored for your agency’s unique context—to improve results quickly and sustainably.
No matter the size or complexity or your agency, I can help you deliver projects more confidently with an approach crafted together to fit your specific situation.
Projects that go off the rails are expensive. Let’s get started implementing your trusted, successful ways of working.
Is project chaos costing you clients and profit?
Managing the success of multiple complex projects can feel like a rollercoaster. Overruns, missed deadlines, and unpredictable outcomes can leave a team burned out and your clients frustrated.
Delivering repeatable, consistent success can feel unachievable. Resorting to firefighting instead of focusing on growth and quality.
Are you stuggling to get the expected benefits of an Agile Framework like Scrum?
Agile in agencies is a conundrum. Making all your projects fit into an Agile approach can results in both client and internal frustrations.
I’ve worked with dozens of project-led teams on their approaches to delivering complex client projects, and I have built a broad understanding of how to get the most from agility without rigidly applying ways of working that don’t get the best for your clients.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harry to agency teams looking to build team cohesion, improve productivity and develop a commercial mindset throughout a team.

The most common challenges I see:
- Lack of client alignment – onboarding and ongoing
- Vague or bad estimates – from sales through to support
- Scope creep and project overruns – inconsistent approaches
- Endless rework – both quality and alignment
- Struggling to adopt Agile – Agile theatre and confused clients
- Lack of accountability and autonomy – spoon fed teams and disengagement
Learn to deliver consistently great results without so much drama.

Discovery call: confirming the right fit
Let’s discuss your current project delivery challenges and goals. During our conversation, I’ll provide insights into how I assist agency leaders like you to achieve consistent on-time project success.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask lots of questions and together we’ll determine the most suitable next steps. Perhaps a team health check or immediate support for a project that’s way off track.
What’s the process?
Here are the three steps I usually suggest.
1. Health Check
Quick assessment of your team, where your delivery process is struggling, and which projects are at risk. Understand your context and the people.
2. Rapid Action
Immediate improvements and course correction, focusing on what will make the biggest difference first.
- Find breathing space with simple proven techniques
- Change broader key aspects of the delivery approach
- Review known and emerging challenges, and priorities for action
3. Team Autonomy
Fine-tuning of your approach, and empowement of your team to take ownership for lasting success.
A quick call comes first, then we plan some real measurable improvement.
Teams often implement initial improvements within 10 days and see measured delivery improvements within weeks.
