About Tech Leader Advance

Hi, I’m Jason Jantzi, founder of Tech Leader Advance at PFI ProDev Inc.

Over the past 30+ years, I have worked at Electronic Arts, Epic Games, and numerous other software and technology firms overseeing the development, delivery, and operation of major products including FIFA, Frostbite, and Fortnite.

In 2023, I founded Tech Leader Advance with the intention of helping software and game dev organizations from small mobile teams right up to massive triple-A franchises deliver more efficiently and predictably, while still retaining the flexibility to respond to a creative and dynamic environment.

How Do We Help?

When dev teams are stretching or struggling to meet high expectations, we give them the boost they need.

➤ WHAT WE DO:
We help dev teams produce effective plans, aligned with business priorities, deliver them consistently on time, and scale up to meet increasing demands with confidence.

➤ HOW WE DO IT:
We help dev teams get crystal clear on their priorities and responsibilities, systemize key functions for speed and accuracy, and help leaders focus their attention where it’s needed most for timely delivery.

➤ HOW WE ACTUALLY DO IT:
We work with your leaders to assess which areas need attention. We collaborate on improving and streamlining key processes, and providing customized tools and templates to make repetitive work easy and fast. We then provide operational assistance – coaching, consulting, advising – as needed to ensure you achieve results at the scale your business requires.

➤ WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:
We don’t blindly rely on off-the-shelf methodologies (like Agile or Waterfall) that map poorly to the way your business actually works. Instead, we take proven principles and techniques from multiple sources (which may include Agile and Waterfall) – combined with decades of on-the-ground experience – to build a bespoke approach that reflects your distinct needs today, and as you scale.

The result is an end-to-end system of delivery and operation that your people appreciate, and your leaders rely on.
