Agile facilitation
Fractional Agile delivers expert Agile facilitation to smaller development teams on a flexible, fractional basis. We ensure your ceremonies are held consistently, on schedule, and with clear, productive outcomes — while partnering with Product Owners and stakeholders to keep your Product Backlog prioritised and sprint-ready.
Scrum ceremonies
A core aspect of Agile Facilitation is ensuring that ceremonies, which provide your team with transparency, inspection, and adaptation, are run effectively. These meetings establish a consistent rhythm, enabling your development team to ship high-quality, valuable features every sprint.
Backlog management
A sprint-ready backlog is essential to your development team's ability to run successful Sprints — and key to building stakeholder trust in your estimates, release schedules, and overall roadmap. We help you get your backlog into tip-top shape so you and your development team can focus on delivering high-impact features every single Sprint.
Definition of done
An important, yet often overlooked, part of working in an Agile way is knowing exactly when a task is finished. To maintain consistent quality across your product, we’ll work with your development team to agree a clear Definition of Done. This ensures every ticket receives full due diligence before reaching your customers.
Questions about Agile facilitation
...
What does an Agile Facilitator do?
An Agile Facilitator guides your core ceremonies, manages backlog refinement, and delivers actionable progress reports on your team's velocity. Beyond those core responsibilities, we are also available for custom tasks tailored to your team's specific workflow and management priorities.
What's the difference between and Agile Facilitator and a Scrum Master?
Like a Scrum Master, an Agile Facilitator ensures your development team holds focused, productive ceremonies with clear, valuable outcomes.
The main difference lies in impediment resolution: while a full-time Scrum Master actively drives day-to-day blocker removal, a fractional Agile Facilitator focuses primarily on ceremony execution and backlog coordination, only stepping in to support blocker resolution if asked.
Questions about pricing
...
How much do your fractional services cost?
Our fractional services are invoiced at £625 per day. However, that time is split across the entire Sprint to cover all Scrum ceremonies and backlog management sessions.
How many fractional days should we commit to?
To cover your core Agile ceremonies and ensure sufficient capacity for backlog management, we recommend starting with 4 days per Sprint. This allocation covers full Sprint facilitation alongside dedicated sessions for backlog refinement, triage, and defect management.
Once your backlog reaches a steady, sprint-ready state, you can seamlessly scale down to 3 days per Sprint. Should you face an intensive delivery phase or an unexpected spike in workload, additional days can be added on an ad-hoc basis.
How often do you invoice?
We invoice on a regular 28 day billing cycle (covering two 2-week Sprints). This keeps invoicing predictable, aligns with your development cadence, and ensures transparent cost tracking.
Do you offer a discount to charities or public sector organisations?
Yes, we do! Contact us today to start a conversation about our discounted rates for charities and public sector organisations.
Will the pricing change over time?
We review our rates annually to reflect underlying operational costs. To help you budget with confidence, we provide early advance notice of any updates, with all price adjustments taking effect only in April.
