Shared quality ownership from intake to production

Quality & DevOps Transformation

Quality problems in software delivery are almost never technical. They are behavioral. Manual testing as an afterthought. Definitions of done nobody agrees on. Bugs found by customers before they’re found internally. Release cycles measured in quarters because deployment is too risky to do more often.

We build the behavioral foundation for continuous delivery: Definition of Done and Definition of Ready as shared standards, escape defect reduction programs across team cohorts, test automation embedded in the delivery process, and quality accountability moved to where work begins, not where it ships.

Alkami Technology (Nasdaq: ALKT)

Alkami was launching a new financial institution every two weeks. That growth was exposing quality failures that clients felt directly. Nearly half of all bugs were reaching production before being caught.

Challenges
  • 46% escape defect rate — nearly half of all bugs reached customers
  • Rapid customer growth outpacing ability to deliver reliably
  • Manual testing bottleneck slowing every release cycle
  • No shared Definition of Done across 30+ teams
Approach
  • Escape defect reduction program across team cohorts combining Scrum training and testing fundamentals
  • Definition of Done and Definition of Ready adopted as shared standards firm-wide
  • Sprint-level defect tracking with clear SLAs introduced
  • Backlog regression automation initiated — 334 test cases completed in Phase 1
Results
  • Escape defect rate: 46% → tracking toward 25% annual goal
  • 30+ Scrum teams aligned to functional groups with clear ownership
  • 334 test cases automated in Phase 1, reducing manual testing burden
  • Quality accountability moved to intake — problems caught before development begins
