- Midwives provide coaching, support and assistance for the expecting mother and her child throughout the pregnancy and until after birth.
- Thereby, they significantly reduce the mortality rate..
- The mortality rate for projects and product development is rather high (10% to 50% depending on definition and information source).
- The effect of a ”project midwife” on the probability of success of a project is similar to the effect of a real midwife on the well-being of a mother and her child.
- Unlike other approaches for improving the probability of success for a project, we focus on common sense and experience rather than on rigid methodologies and administration.
- Similar to a midwife removing, with a simple sleight of hand, the umbilical cord slung around the neck - thereby saving a life - we focus on the essentials to make an venture a success.

Your Benefit
- Andreas Garzotto GmbH bears part of the project risk for you.
- This is accomplished by managing the risks based on experience and skills acquired and demonstrated in many other projects.
- We also bear the risk financially: we prefer a participative business model as opposed to a standard "freelancer" model. Example, to be discussed: Instead of an hourly rate that is directly charged at 100%, we charge 60% directly, 40% as soon as the project is completed according to agreed upon criteria, and 30% upon product success.
- Our work reduces some of your burden in management: think about future projects and enjoy as your venture grows in a sound way.
- The project team, and especially the project manager, learns on the job and builds know-how for future ventures.
