PLANET IT AGILE CONSULTANCY LTD

What PLANET IT AGILE CONSULTANCY LTD does

Planet IT Agile Consultancy Ltd is a private UK consultancy that advises companies, IT departments, software-development teams, and senior leaders on agile, lean, leadership, and DevOps transformation. Its services include Agile Transformational Journeys, coaching in Scrum and Kanban, Scrum Doctor diagnostics, Tribes & Squads organizational design, continuous-delivery pipeline work, agile maturity assessments, and a fixed-price 10-Day Agile Tune-Up. The methodology combines coaching and process change with assessment tools, a remote or hybrid Team Health Check framework, and Technology Radars; it is a services business rather than a software platform.

The firm is based in Cheshire and appears to be operated by a principal consultant, with the available headcount record stating that no specific figure is disclosed despite the broader 1-10-person firmographic range. Revenue comes primarily from professional-services engagements sold directly to enterprise teams and leaders, using flexible day-based work, assessments, and a £7,500 fixed-price programme that includes observation, recommendations, and tailored training. It also uses a free online assessment and a 30-minute consultation as lead-generation mechanisms, alongside blog and LinkedIn activity.
