The job of a consultant is to help a client deliver on their own goals and commitments. It is to advise them on the best way to reach those milestones in order to be successful.

Sometimes this means a consultant jumps in and writes code. Sometimes it means talking to an executive team about iterative development can transform their business. Sometimes it is just listening to the problems folks are facing.

A consultant is not an escape hatch, but a partner.
