Challenge

DBServices was hired by Sankhya to diagnose the maturity of its Engineering, Software Quality, and DevOps, mapping practices, gaps, and opportunities across the software development lifecycle. The work was meant to consolidate an AS IS view, define a TO BE state guided by metrics such as DORA and Test Automation Maturity Level (TAL), and structure an evolutionary roadmap focused on software engineering, test automation, standardization, a shared quality culture, and delivery predictability.

Use Case

We led a Hands-on Consulting engagement focused on evolving engineering and software quality, conducting interviews, workshops, and a detailed mapping of current processes, applying reference models such as DORA Metrics and Test Automation Levels. The hands-on approach made it possible to identify technical and cultural bottlenecks, consolidate a clear diagnosis, and build a vision for the future.

Achievements

Automation, DevOps, and Quality guidelines were created, along with POCs integrating testing directly into the software development pipeline. Technical and quality playbooks were developed to guide the teams, covering infrastructure as code and pipeline standardization — aimed at increasing delivery reliability and a shared quality vision. An action plan was structured across integrated workstreams (Engineering, DevOps, Quality, and Culture), connected to a roadmap with short-, medium-, and long-term initiatives.
