Rick Pollick

What I do

I help companies take the hard parts of product delivery — platform engineering, agentic AI adoption, operating-model change, executive alignment — and turn them into systems teams actually want to use. Less theatre, more throughput.

Most of my work sits at the seam between strategy and the day-to-day: reshaping how delivery organizations plan, measure, and ship. I write about what's working (and what isn't) inside enterprises making this transition.

What I write about

  • Platform engineering — the shift from DevOps teams to developer-facing internal products.
  • Agentic AI strategy — governance, product thinking, and where organizations get stuck.
  • Delivery operating models — making agile, OKRs, and roadmaps pay off in practice.
  • Leadership — clarity, visibility, and the uncomfortable human work of change.

Credentials

  • Business Administration Doctoral Candidate
  • MBA
  • SAFe Agilist (SA)

What I'm building

Alongside the consulting and writing, I build small, opinionated tools — some public, most invite-only while I iterate. The full list is on the apps page. Highlights include Ezra (custom QR codes with deep analytics), Football FantasyIQ (AI-powered fantasy-football assistant), and AltaClario (modern agile analytics for Jira and Azure DevOps).
