Challenges Faced before Blueprint

Challenges Faced

Operating in a highly regulated industry, they had to monitor the documents provided to policyholders carefully. An error can result not only in change requests, but costs in terms of reputation, credibility, and additional expenditure. The insurance company recognized that its software development processes wouldn’t scale to maintain its high level of application quality levels as the business expands. They were looking for a tool that would help them mitigate these issues, enhance project success, and create a more efficient environment for future projects.
Lacked Integration Capabilities
The organization’s existing tools lacked integration capabilities with other enterprise tools hindering continuous data flow, visibility, and collaboration thereby impeding business growth.
Requirement Management Capabilities
Ineffective requirement management tools utilized by the organization were causing teams to capture poor requirements, resulting in unplanned work and project failures.
Manual Effort
Teams were spending significant time and effort to write user stories and test cases, resulting in project delays which inevitably led to longer release times and increased costs.
