Concrete initiatives resulting in 22X more frequent deliveries

Axify identified optimization drivers that would have the greatest impact on the team's efficiency.

Team reorganization

Developers tested team self-selection to improve communication and accountability and better define responsibilities and tasks.

Optimizing deployment processes

The team set up an automated production deployment process (Continuous Delivery or CD) to deliver more value to users faster.

Optimizing quality assurance processes

QA specialists began writing end-to-end tests, reducing their manual workload. Other initiatives, such as "shift-left," facilitated their ability to test features in real-time.

Optimizing story slicing and estimating processes

By introducing vertical slicing of user stories and involving developers from the earliest stages of requirements, Newforma reduced the time spent on pre-development activities, improved the accuracy of estimates and the understanding of the development team.

Integration of product, design, development and quality assurance teams

The team adapted the Three Amigos approach to the Fantastic 4, selecting a representative from each team to improve the discoverability of requirements and derisk decisions. Involving the right people in discussions improves collaboration and ownership, speeding up delivery time.
