Better | Faster | Stronger - Delivering High-Quality Products
summary
Ride‑pooling software for Hamburg proves specific changes: impose work‑in‑progress limits to cut cycle time from over two weeks to much faster, adopt feature toggles and ship every commit so commits land in production, apply a testing pyramid with contract and thin end‑to‑end tests, pair and TDD for faster feedback. Result: two teams forecast 200‑story scope, a six‑day retrofit to run city night service during COVID, and production monitoring that actually alerts when traffic drops or errors spike.
