How Delivery Works
Work is delivered in waves using
LLAMA® iterations: Skeleton → Alpha → Beta → Final.
Work is delivered in waves: up to 5 modules in development at once
Each module follows a structured lifecycle (e.g., Alpha → Beta → Final)
Full design/build lifecycle is approximately
12 weeks
A new wave launches about every 3 weeks
During a limited surge period, up to 3 waves may overlap at once
Client review windows are built into the lifecycle
If you like keeping lots of moving parts organized and unblocked,
you’ll
thrive here.
What
You’ll
Do (Responsibilities)
Delivery Operations & Tracking
Maintain
ClickUp

Occasionally
facilitate
internal meetings when needed (e.g., standups/status check-ins)
Support client communications through updates, follow-ups, and documentation (under the direction of the Lead PM)

sign-offs
are recorded before final delivery
Support version control and file organization in SharePoint to

Track
sign-offs
across reviewer groups and ensure approvals are captured for each module as

Escalation & Decision Support

Review tool + spreadsheets (capturing/triaging feedback)
