The Challenge: Bottlenecks in Testing Were Slowing the Entire Sprint
As development efforts ramped up, this professional organization found themselves facing a growing problem — their small QA team couldn’t keep up. The backlog of testing tasks caused delays in completing Sprint deliverables, leading to missed deadlines, business disruptions, and even diminished member engagement across their digital platforms.
While there were discussions around implementing test automation, the lack of well-documented test cases made automation unfeasible at that stage. Meanwhile, the pressure on the internal QA team continued to mount.
