Itsavirus · Service
Your development team is building. But do you know what they're building, when it ships, and whether it holds?
We install the structure that makes your team predictable — without replacing them.
The pattern we see
Every founder we speak to says the same thing: "I don't know what my developers are doing." Not because the team is bad. Because the structure isn't there.
No sprint rhythm. Work happens, but there's no cadence. No planning, no review, no commitment to what ships and when.
No pipeline. Deploys are manual, inconsistent, or scary. Every release is a small gamble.
No roadmap. There's a list somewhere. But it doesn't reflect what's actually being built.
Knowledge hoarding. The codebase lives in two or three heads. One departure and you're in trouble.
Vibe coding. AI is in the hands of your engineers now. Without guardrails, it accelerates the mess.
Founder blindness. You're running the business. You shouldn't need to be in Slack all day to know if things are on track.
What we do
Delivery as a Service is not a consultancy engagement and not a retainer. It is a fixed-outcome service: we embed into your team, install proven delivery infrastructure, and transfer it fully before we step back.
We do not replace your engineers. We build the system around them — so they can do their best work, and you can trust what comes out the other end.
The toolkit stays. The structure stays. Your team runs it.
Planning, standup, review, retro — installed and running. Definition of Done. Backlog ownership. Velocity tracking. Your team commits and delivers.
Every commit tested. Every release deliberate. Environment management, feature flags, rollback procedures. Nothing reaches production by accident.
Test coverage. QA agent. Bug triage with SLAs. Regression suite. Your team knows what's broken before your users do.
Architecture decisions recorded. APIs documented. Runbooks written. Onboarding guide live. The codebase outlives any single engineer.
12 months. Prioritised. Aligned with business objectives. Stakeholder-ready. Not a wishlist — a plan your team actually builds to.
Monthly automated briefing. What is running, what is stalled, what needs your attention. You stay informed without being in the detail.
"We don't come with an AI transformation agenda. We come with what needs to happen first — the structure that makes everything else possible." — Jochem Verheul, Founder, Itsavirus
How it works
Each month has a defined focus. Phases run sequentially and build on each other. By month nine, the structure is fully embedded — and your team owns it.
The engagement ends with a full audit against the baseline we set in month one. What changed. What improved. What your team can now do without us.
Discovery & Baseline
Codebase review, team assessment, tooling audit, stakeholder mapping, risk register. We set the baseline everything is measured against.
Governance & Structure
Your first real sprints. Definition of Done. Backlog ownership. Change management. The team learns to commit and deliver.
Delivery Pipeline
Nothing reaches production by accident. Automated builds, monitoring, alerting, rollback. Reliable shipping.
Quality & Testing
Test coverage baseline. Regression suite. QA agent live. Bug severity and SLA. Your team knows what's broken before your users do.
Knowledge & Documentation
ADRs, API docs, runbooks, onboarding guide. Documentation agent. Knowledge out of heads, into systems.
Roadmap & Prioritisation
12-month roadmap. OKRs. MoSCoW. Capacity planning. Velocity forecasting. Founder and team aligned on what ships and why.
Data & Systems
Database review, performance audit, API consistency, data governance, GDPR baseline, backup and recovery.
Scale & Security
Load testing, security hardening, technical debt roadmap, cloud cost optimisation. The team is no longer building on sand.
Handover & Continuity
Final audit. Lessons learned. Playbooks complete. Pulse agent live. And a clear picture of what the next 12 months look like without us.
For whom
You have a development team of 3–15 engineers and you've lost visibility into what they're delivering.
You're a founder or CEO who shouldn't need to be in Jira every day to know if things are on track.
You're a startup or scaleup that moved fast and built something real — but the delivery structure didn't keep up.
You want structure that transfers — not a consultant who stays forever because they made themselves indispensable.
You want to pay for outcomes, not hours.
This is not for you if
You're looking for someone to build the product for you
You want an AI transformation roadmap
You're not willing to commit to a 9-month process
What this is not
Delivery as a Service is not a fractional CTO. It is not a development agency. It is not an AI consultancy.
It is a structured service that installs delivery infrastructure — the same toolkit, the same sequence, across every engagement — and then transfers it fully to your team.
The structure stays. The team runs it. You see the difference by month two.
Itsavirus track record
We've built and scaled platforms for Shell, Heineken, McDonald's, the Dutch Ministry of Transport, and 50+ startups and scaleups. The delivery structure we install is the structure we've used across all of them.
