Challenge

The organization struggled with inconsistent release cycles and delays due to a lack of ownership in release management, compounded by an ineffective release train model that caused last-minute changes and scheduling issues.

Solution

Restructuring Release Management

Toptal assessed the company’s release management processes and implemented a streamlined solution with a dedicated release manager, improving coordination and execution.

Multi-team Coordination Strategy

To handle complex product releases, Toptal developed a comprehensive strategy that included a release dashboard to categorize defects and manage changes across teams.

Outcome

Reduction in Failed Releases

Failed releases dropped to just one every two months, while the release cycle was reduced from one month to one week, dramatically improving efficiency.

Stabilized Release Cycles

Toptal’s improvements led to more stable release cycles, better coordination across more than 20 teams, and heightened stakeholder satisfaction during the company’s transition to the cloud.
