One Team. One Backlog.
No More Run Against Build.
Your support contract keeps the estate alive. Your project budget moves it forward. They report separately, prioritise separately, and quietly compete for the same engineers. Managed Evolution merges them into one team working from one ranked backlog, so the most important work gets done rather than the work that happens to have budget left.
Three Signs Your Estate Has Stopped Moving
- Your SLA dashboard is green, but the same three problems have been on the risk register for four quarters.
- You find out about a Microsoft retirement when the deadline is already inside ninety days.
- Improvement work only happens when a project is funded, and stops the day the project closes.
None of these are support failures. They are the predictable result of an operating model that has no mechanism for deciding what the estate should become next.
What Changes in the First Ninety Days
The Backlog Is an Artefact, Not a Promise
On a security, infrastructure and governance engagement for a listed South African financial services group, the backlog went into Azure DevOps as 587 rows: one product, five epics, twenty-one features, forty user stories and five hundred and twenty tasks, each with acceptance criteria, story points, iteration paths and an original estimate, reconciled to contracted hours before work started.
Mint Group holds all six Microsoft Solution Partner designations, twelve specialisations and more than 400 Microsoft certifications, with over 265 engineers available as surge capacity.
