Three of the Scrum teams needed a replacement Scrum Master due to unforeseen medical circumstances. These teams were in the middle of a SAFe transformation with a culture of job-loss related fear. The client was also utilizing testing component type teams even further demoralizing the mindset of the developers on all three teams.

Solution

Transition all of their manual efforts to automated and ensure all extreme programming practices were being followed. Within four months, the teams were more independent, more automated to improve delivery time, and had better quality tool and overall software delivery.

  • Automated processes rather than manual
  • Improved delivery time
  • Better quality management and use of tools
  • Increased software delivery cycles


Key Results

  • Delivery time increased to every two weeks from every month – 50% increase
  • 50% decrease in bugs and defects
  • 50% increase in automation testing
