Scaling Your Healthtech Platform?
With a Fractional CTO, a Healthtech Platform Hit 95% of Its Milestones on Time, Sped Up Sprints 40%, and Stopped Shipping Off-Roadmap Features
Case Study Summary
Executive summary
Whizzbridge served as Fractional CTO for a fast-growing Healthtech platform that had outgrown its offshore-only setup and was missing milestones and pushing off-roadmap features. Working across JIRA, Agile Scrum, a microservices architecture, AWS Cloud, RESTful APIs, and AI-driven analytics, the engagement introduced structured tracking, tied payments to milestone delivery, and rearchitected for scale. On-time milestone delivery rose to approximately 95% and sprint velocity improved by roughly 40%, freeing the CEO to focus on growth without hiring a full-time CTO.

- The company consistently missed key deliverables, with project milestones on Trello frequently delayed, which negatively impacted timelines.
- New features were added without proper discussions, causing misalignment with the product roadmap.
- The Product Development Manager, while skilled at coding, lacked the strategic oversight required for effective architecture and scalability.
