KCS
Kennett Consulting Services · Dallas, Texas

Complex projects, delivered. Better ways to run the work.

We plan and deliver technology programs, put clear governance around them, and build the tools that keep them running. When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, we build software that does.

Services

From the plan to the finish line, and the systems behind it

Program & project delivery

Large, cross-team technology programs led end to end: scope, schedule, dependencies, risk and cutover. Troubled projects brought back on track.

PMO & Agile governance

Intake, OKRs, Jira and Jira Align structures, and portfolio reporting that leaders actually use. Practical Agile, sized to the organization.

Technology modernization

Cloud and data platform moves, infrastructure migrations, and healthcare system rollouts: coordinated across infrastructure, application and vendor teams.

Automation & reporting

Status, capacity and governance reporting automated, including AI-assisted tools, so teams spend less time chasing updates and more time delivering.

Process & operations design

Map how the work really flows, remove the friction, and write down the operating practices so they hold after we leave.

Product

Software for member organizations

Our platform for fraternal and nonprofit groups: member records, dues, events, volunteers, books and reporting in one place. It runs two Knights of Columbus units in Dallas today.

Pro bono

Part of every year is set aside to build for organizations whose mission is bigger than their budget, at no charge. Tell us about yours.

Approach

Every engagement runs like a well-built project plan

Short phases, clear owners, visible progress. You always know what is done, what is next, and what is at risk.
