In a fast-paced, growth-driven environment, the HR-Tech company faced critical challenges in optimizing their software delivery processes. By partnering with synvert, they were able to revolutionize their development lifecycle, dramatically boosting speed, efficiency, and quality—enabling them to release software at an unprecedented pace.
Goals & challenges
The company had the need to streamline development processes, communication, and delivery speed of their applications.
The company is tackling several critical challenges in their development processes to enhance efficiency and productivity.
- Firstly, the need to optimize build times to boost developer productivity and minimize waiting periods. This streamlining effort aims to expedite development cycles and improve overall workflow efficiency.
- Secondly, the company is prioritizing the acceleration of time to market while maintaining code quality and stability. This involves striking a balance between rapid deployment demands and ensuring reliability in product releases. By carefully managing this balance, they aim to expedite product launches without compromising the integrity and performance of their software solutions.
- Lastly, the company wants to improve feedback loops between teams involved in the development lifecycle. Enhancing communication channels and feedback mechanisms ensures smoother collaboration and quicker resolution of issues, fostering a more agile and responsive development environment. This initiative is crucial for maintaining alignment and synergy across teams, ultimately leading to more efficient development and deployment processes.
synvert facilitated agile process optimization and implementation, spearheaded continuous delivery practices, drove transformation in quality assurance processes, and facilitated continuous feedback loops for iterative improvement.
Services accomplished by synvert
The HR-Tech company and synvert collaborated to ensure code quality while increasing time to market confidence and frequency.
- The team redefined Dockerfiles to adhere to best practices, promoting consistency and efficiency in containerized environments. This standardization effort aimed to streamline operations and enhance overall deployment effectiveness.
- Next, we established a unified automation infrastructure, which served as a standardized framework for automation across various teams. This initiative fosters collaboration and efficiency by providing teams with a versatile platform for automating tasks, thus reducing manual overhead and accelerating development cycles.
- The team also focused on improving testing and release feedback mechanisms, aiming to enhance the speed and quality of iteration cycles. By implementing enhanced feedback gathering and analysis techniques, we enabled quicker decision-making and more informed development iterations. This effort is critical for maintaining agility and responsiveness in the face of evolving requirements and market demands.
Delivery / conclusion
synvert optimized the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), enhancing efficiency, agility, and collaboration throughout development, testing, deployment, and maintenance phases — ensuring the seamless delivery of high-quality software solutions.
- Increased Release Frequency: The project saw a significant improvement in release frequency, moving from one release per day to an average of four releases daily. This accelerated pace enabled the team to deliver new features, bug fixes, and improvements more swiftly, fostering agility and responsiveness in meeting evolving requirements and market demands.
- Decreased Build Times: Significant progress was made in optimizing build times, reducing them from approximately 14 minutes to just 4 minutes. This improvement dramatically accelerated the development pipeline, empowering developers to iterate faster, validate changes promptly, and sustain momentum throughout the workflow.
- Enhanced Release Changelog Context: The release management process was transformed with a stronger emphasis on providing detailed context within release changelogs. By clearly documenting changes, updates, and enhancements for each release, stakeholders gained deeper visibility into product evolution. This increased transparency improved cross-team alignment, supported smoother collaboration, and enabled more informed decision-making throughout the development lifecycle.
